Abstract 

The association of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) and pyloric atresis (PA) in newborns is rare but has been well described.

The authors report a case of EB and PA associated with esophageal and anal atresia in a newborn. To our knowledge, these associations had not been reported in the English-language literature.
