What it is
A rare, inherited, epidermolysis bullosa simplex characterized by generalized severe blistering with widespread congenital absence of skin and pyloric atresia that is usually fatal in infancy. Antenatally, pyloric atresia can manifest with polyhydramnios. If patients survive, they experience life-long skin fragility and nail dystrophy. Additional extracutaneous findings include failure to thrive, anemia, sepsis, intraoral blistering, enamel hypoplasia, urethral stenosis and urologic complications.

ICD-10 codes
ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
