Ileal atresia, a subtype of intestinal atresia, is one of the well-recognized causes of bowel obstruction in newborns. Prenatal diagnosis of intestinal atresia is very important in its management and outcome. Unfortunately, there are few cases of ileal atresia diagnosed prenatally, so more appropriate diagnoses and management plans are needed. As an associated gastrointestinal malformation with ileal atresia, hypertrophic pyloric... |
We report a 3-month old boy admitted to our hospital with Bartter's syndrome like symptoms and laboratory findings, which were vomiting, failure to thrive, hypochloremic and hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis associated with hyperreninemia, hyperaldosteronism and normal blood pressure. However, the urine chloride level was low. Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis was diagnosed through abdominal ultrasonography. Fredet-Ramstedt operation was done after electrolyte correction. After... |
Purpose : This study was done to analyze the changes in the clinical conditions and the diagnosis of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Methods : We report a retrospective clinical analysis of 39 patients with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis from Jan. 1992 to Aug. 2001. The age and sex distribution, family and birth history, clinical symptoms, the ultrasonographic and the operative sizes of pyloric canals were compared. Results... |
Purpose : The diagnosis of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis(HPS) can be made by clinical manifestations and upper gastrointestinal(UGI) series in most cases. Recently, the ultrasonogram(US) is a more accurate and reliable method for the diagnosis of HPS in early stage. Methods : We retrospectively studied 27 HPS patients confirmed surgically from January 1999 to March 2000. We reviewed clinical histories and physical and laboratory findings.... |
Herniation of the stomach through the esophageal hiatus into the posterior mediastinum is a commom affliction of humans. The incidence of hiatal hernia is difficult to determine because of the absence of symptoms in a large number of patients. Hiatal hernias are classified into two major types; type I sliding hiatal hernia and type II paraesophageal hiatal hernia. Sliding hernia... |
Purpose : The pharmacologic effect of atropine on HPS can be considered to control pyloric muscle spasm. Therefore, we studied the effects of intravenous atropine sulfate on the clinical course of HPS, and periodically observed the ultrasonographic appearance of the pyloric muscles after atropine treatment. Methods : From April 1998 to May 1999, 14 infants who were diagnosed with HPS were... |
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis(IHPS) is the most common condition requiring abdominal surgery in early infancy, and is caused by hypertrophied pyloric muscle. The development of successful surgical treatment in the early 1900s by Fredet and Ramstedt made it possible for infants worldwide to survive. Modern pediatric anesthetic techniques have virtually eliminated mortality from surgical management. Atropine sulfate is a cholinergic... |
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis(IHPS) is one of the most common causes of nonbilious vomiting in early infancy, and is caused by hypertrophied pyloric muscle but its exact etiology and pathogenesis are still unknown. Fredet-Ramstedt pyloromyotomy has been accepted as the treatment of choice for IHPS. Atropine is a cholinergic blocking agent with potent antimuscarinic activity that decreases peristaltic contractions... |
Endoscopic balloon dilatation has provided a non-operative means of managing obstructive lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. In an infant with idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis(IHPS), the stenosis was successfully dilated with endoscopic balloon dilatation. Endoscopic balloon dilatation was performed using a 9mm endoscope and through-the-scope(TTS) balloon catheter (diameter 10 to 12mm). Dilatation was performed two times for 5 minutes. The 9mm... |
Real-time ultrasonogram was performed in 31 Pt. With CHPS, who was admitted at the pediatric department of Wonkwang University hospital from January 1991 to June 1993. Those who had positive results of pyloric volume for diagnosis of CHPS and were confirmed by surgery. The results were at follows, 1) The average ultrasonographic measurements of pyloric muscle thickness, pyloric diameter, pyloric length were... |
Ultrasonic evaluation of the pylorus was performed in a group of 22 infants clinically suspected of having Congenital Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (CHPS), from march 1990 to July 1991. In every case the diagnosis of CHPS was confirmed by surgery. Ten normal babies served as the control group. 1) In CHPS group, the mean age on admission was 36.7¡¾16.4 days, and male... |
11q-syndrome is a rare chromosomal anomaly. We experienced a case of llq deletion syndrome in a female infant. It was diagnosed by clinical features and chromosomal study. She had multiple anomalies such as flat occiput, hypertelorism, low set malformed ear, anteverted nostril, small carp-shaped mouth, micrognathia, hypertrophic pyloric stenosis and ventricular septal defect. Chromosomal study showed partial terminal deletion of the long arm of chromosome... |
This study was a review and clinical analysis of 77 cases of congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis at II Sin Christian Hospital from Jan. 1980. to Mar. 1990. The result was as follows. 1) At age distribution, the most prevalent age group was between 4 weeks and 6 weeks, and ratio of male to female was about 3.8:1. 2) Among 77 cases, the first bom was most affected... |
The diagnosis of congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis has traditionally been made on the basis of history and physical examination in the majority of patients. Imaging procedures such as UGI series have been reserved for vomiting infats in whom the diagnosis was obscure. More recently ultrasonography with the lack of hazards associated with radiation provides an additional method of investigation which is accurate and diagnose... |
We experienced 23 patients with congential hypertrophic pyloric stenosis from Dec. 1978 to Aug. 1987 The age and sex distribution, family and birth history, clinical symptoms with prognosis etc. were reviewed. The results were as follows. 1) Most of the patients (20 cases, 87%) represented symptoms within 6 weeks of age. 2) Male was predominated than female by the ratio of 19:4. 3) The first baby was... |
Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is the most common intraabdominal condition requiring surgery during the first few months of life. In many cases the diagnosis can be made clinically by a history of projetile vomiting, and by palpation of a pyloric tumor. Barium study is considered necessary if the diagnosis can not be established with certainty on physical sign alone. We... |
Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is characterized by projectile vomiting and pyloric thickening, and must be differentiated with gastroesophageal reflux. Gastroesophageal reflux may defined as relaxation of lower esophageal sphincter causing return of stomach content into eophagus, and frequently associated with hiatal hernia. The authors presented a case, having congenital hypertrophic pyloric stencsis and gastroesophageal reflux simultaneously which must be differentiated... |
