Pyloric stenosis | Radiology Reference Article - Radiopaedia. org Pyloric stenosis is the result of both hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the pyloric circular muscle fibers The pathogenesis of this is not understood There are four main theories 9: immunohistochemical abnormalities genetic abnormalities infectious cause hyperacidity theory Radiographic features Plain radiograph
Pyloric stenosis | Radiology Case - Radiopaedia. org Pyloric stenosis affects males 4-5 times more often than females It occurs between 4-8 weeks of life, and presents with non-bilious projectile vomiting There may be a positive family history Ultrasound findings include: target sign: hypertrophied hypoechoic muscle surrounding echogenic mucosa
Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis | Radiology Case - Radiopaedia. org Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis: The patient's clinical presentation is a common one in pediatrics with a wide differential diagnosis In this case, the sonographic findings of a hypertrophic pylorus with no passage of gastric contents clinches the diagnosis of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS)
