We conducted a clinicopathological study of cases of gastric carcinoma with pyloric stenosis and examined treatment outcomes and the prognosis of cases of stage IV gastric carcinoma with pyloric stenosis and the validity of gastrectomy as palliative surgery in these cases. The outcomes of 49 surgeries for gastric carcinoma with pyloric stenosis were compared with those of 671 surgeries for gast...

OBJECTIVE To assess the link between very early erythromycin exposure and pyloric stenosis in young infants. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS Medicaid or TennCare (Tennessee's program for Medicaid enrollees and uninsured individuals) births in Tennessee from 1985 to 1997. Cases of infants with a hospital discharge diagnosis of pyloric stenosis and an associated su...

Sir, I should like to report a case of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis presenting at the age of 2 years 6 months. This male, only child was admitted with a 5-day history of fever and vomiting, which was not bile stained. His past history was normal and he had not vomited in infancy. The vomiting settled within two days and he was discharged to be readmitted 8 days later with a recurrence of his s...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether diagnostic imaging of pyloric stenosis has made a difference in rapidity of diagnosis, duration of pre-operative hydration, and length of stay in hospital. DESIGN Chart review of infants with confirmed diagnosis of pyloric stenosis. SETTING Paediatric teaching hospital. SUBJECTS 215 infants with a confirmed diagnosis of pyloric stenosis seen during 1974-7 and 1...

Gastric outlet obstruction and in particular, pyloric stenosis, is relatively common in developing countries. Acute clinical presentation is often the manifestation of biochemical and electrolyte changes. The presence of metabolic alkalosis in combination with acute renal failure should alarm us to the possibility of adult pyloric stenosis. We report a case of adult pyloric stenosis that presen...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, in adults, is a rare disease. Partial gastrectomy, gastroenterostomy, pyloromyotomy, pyloroplasty and endoscopic dilatation have all been recommended with variable results. A 54-year-old white female is presented with the onset of symptoms of idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis one year prior to operation. Two endoscopic p...

Pyloric stenosis occurs with a nearly 5-fold male predominance. To what extent this is due to environmental factors is unknown. In a cohort of all children born in Denmark, 1977-2008, the authors examined the association between pre- and perinatal exposures and pyloric stenosis and investigated whether these factors modified the male predominance. Information on pre- and perinatal factors and p...

Infants with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis typically present at 2 to 4 weeks of age with nonbilious projectile vomiting. Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is exceedingly rare in newborn infants and is scarcely reported in literature. Also, the diagnostic criteria for ultrasonographic measurements in newborn infants have yet to be determined. This report is of a newborn infant with hypertrophic pylo...
