Aim: Cases with pyloric atresia (PA) is presented to evaluate the clinical features and results of surgical treatment.Methods: Patients with PA is evaluated for age, sex, family history, prenatal and postnatal diagnosis and results of surgical treatment. Results: Four patients diagnosed as PA in the last 5 years were included in the study. Two of the cases were associated with epidermolysis bullosa (EB, Carmi syndrome). Other cases were siblings. All of the patients were female and cases with EB had prenatal findings of polyhidramniosis and dilated stomach. Mean gestational week was 34.7 weeks (30-40 w) and birth weight was 2005 g (1320-2450 g). One patient had associated esophageal atresia, one patient had genitourinary anomaly and two had minor cardiac anomalies. The mean time to diagnosis was postnatal 4.5 days (3-6 days) in patients with prenatal findings and 6 days (2-10 days) in familial cases. The mean time of operation was 5.5 days (3-10 days). Three of the cases were type 2 and one case had type 1 atresia. Gastroduodenostomy was performed in type 2 cases, Heineke-Mukilicz type pyloroplasty was performed in type 1 case. Patient with esophageal atresia also underwent feeding jejunostomy. In one of the patients, primary repair and jejunostomy were performed because of anastomotic leakage at postoperative 6th day. Oral feeding was initiated at a mean time of 7.5 day in familial cases. Enteral feeding via jejunostomy was initiated at 5th postoperative day in cases with EB. Two cases associated with EB were died at a mean time of postnatal 22.5 day (16-29) because of sepsis, whereas familial cases have been followed-up uneventfully. Conclusion: PA is very rare, seen in females, and familial cases without associated anomalies have better outcome. Cases with EB have mortal course, which is related with infectious complications.
