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...

cutis laxa (cl) is a rare congenital and acquired disorder characterized by loose and redundant skin with reduced elasticity. three types of congenital cutis laxa have been recognized. other findings are pulmonary emphysema, bronchiectasia, hernia and diverticulosis. we describe a female neonate involved by cutis laxa syndrome and a positive family history. we focus on the radiologic findings o...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been widely accepted as a curative treatment for gastric neoplasm. Pyloric stenosis is a chronic complication that can be caused by ESD. The aim of this study is to clarify the risk factors and management for pyloric stenosis. From January 2004 to January 2014, a total of 126 patients who underwent ESD adjacent to pylorus were reviewed retrospectively....

BACKGROUND The changing pattern of haemorrhage and perforation from peptic ulcer disease is well documented but little is known about pyloric stenosis, the third complication of the disease. METHODS We reviewed records relating to definitive operations (with intent to cure) for peptic ulcer disease carried out in York, UK from 1929-1997. We categorised the patients as pyloric stenosis and no ...

OBJECTIVE We report a case of primary hypertrophic pyloric stenosis combined with a paraduodenal hernia in a 35-year-old woman. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION The patient presented with signs of obstructive ileus. CT of the abdomen revealed a marked dilatation of the stomach and the proximal jejunum as well as a circumferential thickening of the antral-pyloric region with characterist...

CONTEXT Pyloric stenosis is the most common condition requiring surgery in the first months of life. Case reports have suggested familial aggregation, but to what extent this is caused by common environment or inheritance is unknown. OBJECTIVES To investigate familial aggregation of pyloric stenosis from monozygotic twins to fourth-generation relatives according to sex and maternal and patern...

Four studies reported an increasing incidence of pyloric stenosis during the late 1970s from geographically diverse areas of the United Kingdom. It was suggested that the increased incidence might be related to changes in infant feeding practices. We used data from the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program, a population based birth defects registry, to examine the secular trends and d...

Objectives: To evaluate the validity of ultrasound for diagnosis and exclusion of pyloric stenosis in the infants with nonbilious vomiting. Methodology: In a cross-sectional study, 444 consecutive infants with clinical suspicion of pyloric stenosis were evaluated by ultrasound (US) and categorized as pyloric stenosis or not according measuring parameters as muscle thickness, muscle width and ca...

A 20-day-old girl presented with increasing projectile vomiting over a period of one week and progressive weight loss. The diagnosis of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) was made by sonography (Length of pyloric channel: 22 mm; muscle thickness: 5 mm). Open standard pyloromyotomy was performed. The postoperative course uneventful. On the 50th postoperative day, the girl was readmitted with pr...

Pyloric muscle dimensions were measured in 1400 consecutive newborn infants. Nine of these subsequently developed pyloric stenosis. Their pyloric measurements at birth were all within the normal range. Congenital preformed muscular hypertrophy does not appear to be present in babies who later develop pyloric stenosis.
