Apple peel intestinal atresia is an apple-peel-appearing bowel obstruction of unknown cause.

The translocation breakpoints in the patient may become candidate regions for the putative gene causing apple-peel atresia. Alternatively, the association of the two abnormalities in the patient is coincidental because her phenotypically normal mother had the same chromosome translocation.
