Congenital pyloric atresia : A report of two cases

Congenital pyloric atresia (CPA) is a very rare malformation that constitutes less than 1% of all upper gastrointestinal atresias. [1] It is a unique malformation that is commonly seen as an isolated lesion, but can also occur in association with other genetically determined conditions such as epidermolysis bullosa and/or aplasia cutis congenita or form part of the hereditary multiple intestinal atresias (HMIA). [2],[3],[4] This is a report of two cases of isolated CPA, outlining aspects of diagnosis and management. The literature on the subject is also reviewed.
