Congenital Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis with Jaundice.

چکیده
338 DR. BARNETT: I think few of us would consider that we know enough new about pyloric stenosis to justify presenting an infant with it to a group of this type. However, the patient to be presented had what appears to be a cornplication of p loric stenosis, which we had not encountered previously and one which is of both practical and theoretic interest. The patient will be described and the discussion opened by Dr. Fraad. DR. LEWIS FRAAD: Infants with congenital h pertrophic stenosis with or without eomplications continue to fascinate pediatricians, even though the first American cases were reported in 1788. The patient is a boy, the first-born infant of a 21-year-old mother. The pregnancy and delivery were uneventful. The birth weight was 2.5 kg. Upon discharge from the newborn nursery at 6 days of age, occasional regurgitation of feeding was noted. By the age of 3 weeks the infant had gained only 90 gm. Five days prior to admission to the hospital, vomiting became profuse and projectile. One day before admission the infant’s skin appeared yellow to the mother. Upon admission to the hospital at the age of 4 weeks, the infant’s weight had decreased to 2,360 gm. He appeared dehydrated and markedly jaundiced. The liver was palpated at the eostal margin. An olive-shaped mass measuring approximately 2.5 by 1.5 cm was easily palpated in the midepigastric region. The pertinent laboratory findings in the blood at the time of admission were as follows: Hemoglobin, 19.5 gm/100 ml; CO2 content, 37.2 meq/l; chlorides, 79 meq/l; sodium, 142 meq/l; potassium, 3.0 meq/l; bilirubin, 18 mg,/100 ml of which 13.1 mg was reported to be of the indirect-reacting variety. Oral feedings were discontinued. With hydration by intravenous fluids, the electrohte concentrations in the serum returned to normal values but the high value for bilirubin and the jaundice persisted. Identification of the type of bilirubin by paper chromatography revealed that it was all of the indirect variety. Ramstedt pylorotomy and liver biopsy were performed on the third hospital day. The infant had an ulleventful postoperative course. The gross and microscopic appearance of liver tissue obtained by biopsy s ’as considered normal. The jaundice faded rapidly after operation. On the fifth postoperative day the bilirubin level in the serum reached 0.44 mg/ 100 ml. At the time of discharge on the fourteenth hospital day the bab ’s weight was 2,600 gm. The patient, now 4 months of age, has continued to thrive without signs of jaundice or of vomiting. Although pediatricians, surgeons and pathologists have been interested in pyloric stenosis for many ears, the etiology of this condition is still unknown. The following list of theories regarding the cause of pylonic stenosis shows at a glance the confusion reigning in the sphere of etiology: 1) Muscle hypertrophv is the primar lesion; 2) muscle hvpertrophy is secondary to (a) pvlonic (b) gastrointestinal allergy; (c) vitamin deficiency in the pregnant mother, (d) h ’pertonia of the vagi, (e) mventeric ganglion disorder of the stomach analogous to congenital aganglionic megacolon, (f) adrenal cortical disease, (g) pituitary changes, (h) maternal emotional disturbance. This is a partial list. Obvioush with so mans competing theories none is acceptable. The genetic factors in p lonic stenosis are worthy of mention. The disease seems to involve a far higher percentage of monozygous twins than it does fraternal twin pairs.’ The

متن کاملFirst Report of A Unique Presentation of Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis Following Type I Esophageal Atresia; A Case Report
Combination of congenital esophageal atresia and subsequent hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is a rare condition which occurs in early infancy. The underlying etiology and pathophysiology of this association still remains unclear. In this paper we report a unique case of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, for the first time, which occurred in an infant who underwent surgery for type I esophag...
متن کاملJaundice with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis as an early manifestation of Gilbert syndrome.
Jaundice associated with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis was recognised in three patients; previous reports have suggested that this is a possible early manifestation of Gilbert syndrome. Most patients with Gilbert syndrome are homozygous for a (TA)(7)TAA polymorphism in the gene promoter coding for bilirubin glucuronosyltransferase. Two of the reported patients were homozygous for the (TA)(7)TAA...
متن کاملInfantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in Belfast, 1957-1969.
Infants with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis born in Belfast during the 13 years 1957-1969 have been reviewed. Their distribution shows a bias towards higher social classes, breast feeding, and primogeniture. Obstetric factors and parental ages seem to be of no importance. More affected infants were born during winter months than would be expected. The overall incidence of infantile pyloric steno...

متن کاملIs maternal gastrin important in congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis?
The birth of a normal infant to a woman with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is described. The cord blood serum gastrin was very elevated. This suggests that maternal gastrin can cross the placenta, a fact previously in doubt in man. The infant did not develop congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. This is further evidence that raised blood gastrin in utero is not an important causative factor in...
