Gastric outlet obstruction in neonates due to nonhypertrophic pyloric stenosis (NHPS) is a rare cause. We report the case of a 37-day-old baby boy who presented with complaints of vomiting for the last 2 weeks and an inconsolable cry over the last 2 days. He has bee...
Real time ultrasound examination is rapidly becoming the initial diagnostic investigation for infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS). While published studies have documented the size of the abnormal pylorus, no studies of the normal diameter of the canal have been performed, and suggested values...
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis after pertussis prophylaxis with erythromcyin: a case review and cohort study. BACKGROUND: In February, 1999, a local US health department identified a cluster of pertussis cases among neonates born at a community hospital and recomme... M.A. Honein,L.J....
AIM: To see whether increasing use of ultrasound scans in pyloric stenosis is leading to false-positive diagnoses, and even negative laparotomies. METHODS: Over a 2-year period, 76 neonates underwent laparotomy with a preoperative diagnosis of pyloric stenosis (PS). There were 57 males and 19...

A case report has suggested that exposure to erythromycin through breast milk might cause infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. This study therefore examined whether macrolides, transmitted via breast milk, increase the risk of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in neonates. A population-based ...
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is a common condition in neonates that is characterized by an acquired narrowing of the pylorus. The aetiology of isolated IHPS is still largely unknown. Classic genetic studies have demonstrated an increased risk in families of affected infants. Several ...
