The findings were confirmed through comparative upper gastrointestinal series (UGI). The objective of this article is to confirm the validity of the US diagnosis of Pyloric Stenosis. This will allow avoiding UGI series thus eviding unnecessary exposure to radiation....
Objective: To evaluate the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis of patients with suspected Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (IHPS) who do not have a clinically palpable 'pyloric lump' or olive by taking surgery and follow-up as gold standard. SONOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF INFANTILE HYPERTROPHIC PY...
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...
4 mm. Four infants (1.1%) underwent a negative surgical exploration; Ultrasound was positive in 3, and negative in 1(who underwent surgery on the basis of a positive upper GI contrast). One US reported as positive had a muscle thickness <4 mm. Two false positive US were performed at ...

infants with nonbilious projectile vomiting could enable differentiation between patients with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) and those with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and help to determine whether ultrasound (US) or fluoroscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract would best confirm the diagnosis. ...

INTRODUCTION: Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is a common cause of nonbilious vomiting in infants. The "classic" presentation is one of a firstborn boy who is aged 2 to 8 weeks and has projectile vomiting; palpable olive, visible peristalsis; and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis....
Given the availability of ultrasound diagnosis, IHPS should be considered in all babies with any one of the classic findings.doi:10.1111/j.1742-6723.2009.01218.xLisa M GotleyDepartments of Emergency Medicine,A BlanchDepartments of Emergency Medicine,...
