%X Congenital pyloric atresia is a rare anomaly accounting for less than 1% of upper GI atresias. It may occur in isolation or in association with other congenital anomalies, epidermolysis bullosa being the most frequent. It presents with upper abdominal distension, non-bilious vomiting or rarely with complications as aspiration pneumonia, electrolyte imbalance or gastric perforation. Though iatrogenic gastric perforations secondary to aggressive resuscitation with bag-mask ventilation and nasogastric intubation are the most frequent in newborns, neonatal gastric perforation due to congenital outlet obstruction have rarely been reported.
