European J Pediatr Surg Rep. 2020 Jan;8(1):e56-e58. doi: 10.1055/s-0040-1713809. Epub 2020 Aug 7.

Abstract

We describe herein the case of a 3-week-old baby with persistent nonbilious vomiting, due to a hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) associated with a congenital pyloric mucosal diaphragm. So far, an association between the two conditions has not been described. The diagnosis of a pyloric mucosal diaphragm was delayed because of its cooccurrence with HPS.

Keywords: congenital; diaphragm; hypertrophic; pyloric; stenosis.
