In 1974, Royer et al. described a familial syndrome consisting of a short and sluggish small bowel, malrotation of the gut, and pyloric stenosis. These authors stressed the uniformly fatal outcome of their four cases, as well as other possibly unrecognized cases previously described in the literature. The present report deals with two more familial cases, of which one represents a long-term survivor of the syndrome. The intensive work of maintaining nutrition, controlling infection, and managing the complications of associated defects are described.
