Abstract
Pyloric atresia may occur as an isolated or pure atresia or may be associated with other anomalies like those involving skin, renal or gastrointestinal systems etc. The most frequent association is with junctional epidermolysis bullosa, a rare autosomal recessive disorder affecting the skin and mucosa. We present a prospective evaluation of three patients of pyloric atresia at our institute over last 2 years (2012–2014)—one of them presenting at 5th day of life and the other two at 5 and 6 years of age, respectively. Two of them did not have any other associated anomaly whereas one patient had incidental finding of Meckel’s diverticulum at the time of surgery for pyloric atresia plus he had been operated upon for right-sided pelvioureteric junction obstruction at 1 year of age. All patients underwent laparotomy after stabilization. The two patients presenting late had type 1 pyloric atresia with a pyloric membrane having a central hole in both the patients. So, excision of the membrane with Heineke Mikulicz pyloroplasty was done in both of them. The neonate who presented early had type 2 pyloric atresia and underwent Finney’s pyloroplasty.
