ABSTRACT

Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is the decrease in the intestinal lumen at the level of the pylorus due to hypertrophy or hyperplasia of the muscular layer. This portion becomes abnormally thickened and manifests clinically as gastric outlet obstruction. The classic clinical presentation of these patients is postprandial, nonbilious, progressive, profuse vomiting that might even be projectile. It is the most common cause of abdominal surgery in patients younger than two months of age. Surgery is the treatment of choice.
