Pyloric Stenosis

📖What is Pyloric Stenosis?

Pyloric stenosis is a condition affecting young infants in which the muscle at the outlet of the stomach, called the pylorus, becomes progressively thickened and enlarged, narrowing the passage through which food moves from the stomach into the small intestine. This progressive narrowing typically develops over the first few weeks of life and leads to forceful vomiting after feeding as the stomach struggles to empty against the obstruction. It is one of the most common conditions requiring surgery in infancy, and prompt diagnosis and correction of the resulting dehydration and electrolyte imbalance are important before surgical repair.
