Other Cases
Stromme syndrome is a rare condition that affects each child differently, leading to a variety of symptoms. Although the disease is relatively new and uncommon, doctors have come across a few cases that exhibit similar characteristics. In 2002, 2004, and 2008, only a handful of patients received a diagnosis of Stromme syndrome. Additionally, doctors identified cases among two sets of siblings in 2015 and 2016.
Apple-Peel Intestinal Atresia: A Common Symptom of Stromme Syndrome
Apple-peel or jejunal atresia is a well-known manifestation of Stromme syndrome, a genetic disorder. This congenital anomaly arises when the membrane connecting the small intestine to the abdominal wall is either absent or not fully formed. As a result, a portion of the small intestines wraps around an artery, causing an obstruction. Infants affected by Stromme syndrome often experience challenges with feeding, abdominal distension, and may even vomit bile.
