Abnormalities of glucose tolerance as a late consequence of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis surgically treated in the neonate

Abstract

75,375 males called to military service were screened to discover the incidence of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. 49 men gave a history of previous surgery for this condition and were given a 45 g/m2 oral glucose tolerance test. Fourteen had impaired glucose tolerance. In no case was there a family history of diabetes mellitus.
