Between the stomach and the small intestines is a passage called the pylorus. This passage is mainly made up of muscle. In Pyloric Stenoses these muscles thickens to such a extend that a child cannot keep milk or food down. Thus, everything that goes into the stomach is vomited out.
This is a quite common condition and occurs mostly in babies of around 6 week so age. The causes of Pyloric Stenoses is not known – it tends to run in families.
At first a child may only bring up small amounts of milk but over time the volume increases and becomes projectile – shooting across a room. Because the milk cannot leave the stomach, it mixes with the acid and turns yellowish. Stools become less, a child starts to lose weight and becomes dehydrated.
Pyloric Stenoses can be felt as a hard lump on the right side of the child’s stomach. During a feed the stomach muscles can be seen straining as it moves from left to right. It can be confirmed with a ultrasound.
Pyloric Stenoses is treated with surgery called a Pyloromyotomy. This operation has a very high success rate.
