	CIGNA - Pyloric Stenosis
		Pyloric stenosis is a condition in which a baby's pylorus gradually swells and thickens, which interferes with food entering the intestine.
		Pyloric stenosis is diagnosed by a physical examination and your baby's medical history and symptoms.
		Pyloric stenosis and congenital anomalies of the stomach.

	Digestive and Liver Disorders - Pyloric Stenosis
		Pyloric stenosis is a problem that affects babies between 2 and 8 weeks of age and causes forceful vomiting that can lead to dehydration.
		Pyloric stenosis (PS) is considered a "multifactorial trait." Multifactorial inheritance means that "many factors" (multifactorial) are involved in causing a birth defect.
		Pyloric stenosis may be inherited; several members of a family may have had this problem in infancy.

	Pyloric Stenosis
		Pyloric stenosis, a condition that affects the gastrointestinal tract during infancy, isn't normal - it can cause your baby to vomit forcefully and often and may cause other problems such as dehydration and salt and fluid imbalances.
		Pyloric stenosis is a narrowing of the pylorus, the lower part of the stomach through which food and other stomach contents pass to enter the small intestine.
		Infants suspected of having pyloric stenosis usually undergo blood tests because the continuous vomiting of stomach acid, as well as the resulting dehydration from fluid losses, can cause salt (electrolyte) imbalances in the blood that need to be corrected.

	Pyloric Stenosis - Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
		Pyloric stenosis is a problem that affects newborns between 2 and 8 weeks of age and causes forceful vomiting that can lead to dehydration.
		In pyloric stenosis, the muscles in this part of the stomach enlarge, narrowing the opening of the pylorus and eventually preventing food from moving from the stomach to the intestine.
		Once a child has been born with pyloric stenosis, the chance for it to happen to another child born in the family depends upon the gender of the child already born with the condition, as well as the gender of the next child.

	Pyloric Stenosis
		Pyloric stenosis often begins as prolonged spasms, the frequency increases, this may lead to muscular hypertrophy and complete obstruction.
		Acquired stenosis due to masses in the wall of the pyloric antrum has also been seen in young horses, possibly secondary to ulcers, and a mass of unknown cause was found at the pyloroduodenal junction in a horse.
		Since the stenosis is usually distal to the pylorus rather than truly pyloric, such dilatation does not damage the pyloric ring, although it may on occasion lead to perforation of the first part of the duodenum.

	Pyloric Stenosis
		Stenosis occurs due to an obstruction in the lumen of the pylorus, either in its walls or their contour, caused by a strange body, a pediculated vegetation or lesions in the walls, usually of cancerous origin, though the most frequent are those caused by duodenal, prepyloric, juxtapyloric, and duodenal pyloric ulcers.
		Pyloric stenosis, due almost always to an ulcerous or neoplastic process of the duodenum, is the most frequent, and we shall talk about it.
		Radiologically, gastric ptosis is differentiated from the dilation produced by stenosis because with ptosis the stomach adopts an almost spherical figure, and its vertical diameter is larger than the transverse one.

		In 50 cases of pyloric muscular hypertrophy in adults associated lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract, such as gastric and duodenal ulceration, were present in 35.
		Although the normal variations in the thickness of the pyloric musculature had not been clearly defined at that time, Truesdale (1915) had previously determined that the normal thickness of the "sphincter" (presumably referring to the pyloric ring) was 5.0 mm on an average, while Horwitz et al.
		This author found the lesion in AHPS to be comparable to simple hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in infants, and to him it was clear that the lesion was limited to the canalis egestorius or pyloric sphincteric cyclinder, as postulated by Torgersen (1942).

		The normal pyloric ring was similar in appearance to the mass of IHPS but was less than 1.0cm in diameter.
		Normally the pyloric "canal" was seen to relax, allowing fluid to pass from stomach to duodenum.
		The relative paucity of muscular fibres in the pyloric ring suggests that it is unlikely to be a sphincter in the usually accepted sense of the word.
