CONGENITAL PYLORIC ATRESIA (CPA): Report of two cases, with review of literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are reporting two neonates with isolated pyloric atresia, with an objective to emphasize the importance of considering this rare condition in the differential diagnosis of upper intestinal atresias. Both had non-bilious vomiting and epigastric fullness. X-ray showed a dilated gastric shadow with no evidence of gas in the rest of the abdomen. On exploration they had pyloric atresia which was corrected with gastroduodenostomy. Congenital pyloric atresia is a rare condition, which presents with features of gastric outlet obstruction. It can be diagnosed antenatally but the picture can mimic other conditions. Epidermolysis bullosa has a strong association with it and require skin biopsy for diagnosis.
