Pyloric stenosis is a narrowing of the opening from the stomach to the first part of the small intestine (the pylorus). [1] Symptoms include projectile vomiting without the presence of bile . [ 1 ] This most often occurs after the baby is fed. [ 1 ]
The pyloromyotomy is primarily indicated by the presence of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. [5] [1] Hypertrophic Pyloric stenosis is a gastrointestinal tract defect, most commonly seen in young children, typically in the first few months of life, caused by enlargement of the tissue in the pyloric muscle.
The pyloric tit sign is a radiological finding observed during barium studies in cases of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. [1] It appears as an outpouching on the lesser curvature of the stomach, just proximal to the impression created by the hypertrophied pyloric muscle.
Pyloric stenosis (in babies, this typically causes a very forceful "projectile vomiting" and is an indication for urgent surgery) Bowel obstruction; Overeating (stomach too full) Acute abdomen and/or peritonitis; Ileus; Food allergies (often in conjunction with hives or swelling) Cholecystitis, pancreatitis, appendicitis, hepatitis; Food poisoning
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis was first fully described by Harald Hirschsprung in 1888. [4] Initially surgeons were reluctant to advise surgical intervention in these cases, even though mortality from the condition was high, as the mortality rate from surgery was also very high. [2]
A study reported in 2019 found an association between erythromycin use during infancy and developing IHPS (Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis) in infants. [29] However, no significant association was found between macrolides use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. [29]
In children, congenital pyloric stenosis / congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis may be a cause. A pancreatic pseudocyst can cause gastric compression. Pyloric mucosal diaphragm could be a rare cause. Malignant Tumours of the stomach, including adenocarcinoma (and its linitis plastica variant), lymphoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumours
