| Abstract |
|
This report presents seven cases of Congenital Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis, which were treated in the
department of Pediatrics, St. Mary’s Hospital during the past three years from April, 1962 to January, 1965.
Six cases were unequivocally demonstrated when pylorostomy(Fredet-Ramstedt method) was performed
in the early stage of infancy, and symptoms of stenosis completely disappeared after the operation. Attempt
was made to treat one of them nonsurgically as long as a month, but it was unsuccessful. In all cases onset came within 2-6 weeks of age when first symptoms of stenosis commonly appear. Characterized projectile vomiting, hyperperistlitic waves and pyloric tumor were present in all cases, but fluoroscopy in one of them failed to demonstrate the characteristic X-ray findings. Regardless of the difficulties to determine the way
of treatment as well as the etiologic factors in this disease, relief of the pyloric obstruction by operation
as soon as the diagnosis is established and metabolic imbalances are corrected seems to be the treatment of
choice.
