Co-existing pyloric submucosal masses with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) are very rare and treating these lesions is always a problem. A 20-day-old boy presented with recurrent episodes of projectile non-bilious vomiting lasting for 5 days. HPS was suspected due to the presenting age and the symptoms. The sonography demonstrated not only circumferential wall thickening of the pylorus, but also a pyloric submucosal mass. At laparotomy, a 0.8 cm sized pyloric submucosal mass was identified along with a hypertrophied pylorus. Pyloric excision was performed due to the possibility of sustaining the symptoms and malignancy. The pathological report of the submucosal mass was ectopic pancreas. Coexisting pyloric lesions can be diagnosed along with HPS, and surgical excision, not just pyloromyotomy, should be considered in these circumstances. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of pyloric ectopic pancreas and HPS to be diagnosed concurrently.

Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is one of the most common disorders requiring surgical therapy during the first few weeks of life. Although the pyloromyotomy, reported by Fredet and Ramstedt, was accepted as a standard procedure of choice, various laparotomy incisions have been reported by several authors. Currently, the most commonly used transverse or right upper quadrant incisions, offer many advantages, but is not without drawbacks. The authors utilized the circumumbilical skin incision and upper subcutaneous dissection followed by vertical division of linea alba in 16 cases of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. This incision avoids transection of rectus muscle and offers a much better cosmetic result. We prefer this procedure because of acceptable scar and no additional wound complication.

Purpose: Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is a common gastrointestinal disease in neonates and hypochloremia metabolic alkalosis is a typical laboratory finding in affected patients. This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics of infants with IHPS and evaluate the association of clinical and laboratory parameters with ultrasonographic findings. Methods: Infants diagnosed with IHPS between January 2017 and July 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. Results: A total of 67 patients were included in the study. The mean age at diagnosis was 40.5±19.59 days, and the mean symptom duration was 11.97±9.91 days. The mean pyloric muscle thickness and pyloric canal length were 4.87±1.05 mm and 19.6±3.46 mm, respectively. Hyponatremia and metabolic alkalosis were observed in five (7.5%) and 36 (53.7%) patients, respectively. Serum sodium (p=0.011), potassium (p=0.023), and chloride levels (p=0.015) were significantly lower in patients with high bicarbonate levels (≥30 mmol/L). Furthermore, pyloric canal length was significantly higher in patients with high bicarbonate levels (p=0.015). To assess metabolic alkalosis in IHPS patients, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of pyloric canal length was 0.910 and the optimal cutoff value of the pyloric canal length was 23.5 mm. Conclusion: We found a close association between laboratory and ultrasonographic findings of IHPS. Clinicians should give special consideration to patients with pyloric lengths exceeding 23.5 mm and appropriate fluid rehydration should be given to these patients.

The onset of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in the postoperative course of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula is rarely reported. The diagnosis could be delayed due to its mimicking symptoms of other postoperative complications including gastroesophageal reflux or anastomotic stricture. We present an infant who had surgery for esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula. He had never fed since birth. The infant presented with an increased amount of orogastric tube drainage and consistently distended gastric air on simple abdominal X-ray. Abdominal ultrasonography showed hypertrophic thick pyloric muscle. The diagnosis of pyloric stenosis was confirmed d is rarely reported. The diagnosis could be delayed due to its mimicking symptoms of other postoperative complications including gastroesophageal reflux or anastomotic stricture. We present an infant who had surgery for esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula. He had never fed. The infant presented with uring surgery, After pyloromyotomy, the patient's condition improved.

The length, diameter and muscle thickness of the pylorus were measured by ultrasonograms in 15 infants with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis(IHPS). These measurements were compared to assemble measurements of infants who came in for the routine vaccination and underwent ultrasonogram. This study also studied by ultrasound the changes in the pylorus of patients who underwent pyloromyotomy 4 weeks and 8 weeks postoperatively. According to $Carver^5$, the pyloric muscle volume(PMV) and pyloric muscle index(PMI) were calculated in each case. The pyloric muscle volume, PMI and the thickness of pyloric muscle proved to be a more reliable guide to diagnose IHPS than length and diameter of pylorus. The pyloric muscle length, diameter, thickness and pyloric muscle volume were not normalized at 4 and 8 weeks after pyloromyotomy. However, pyloric muscle index was normalized at 4 weeks postoperatively perhaps as the result of rapid weight gain after pyloromyotomy.

Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) a common childhood disorders characterized by nonbilious projectile vomiting, an olive shaped mass in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and visible gastric peristaltic wave in the upper abdomen. Its etiology and pathogenesis are not clear but abnormal nerve distribution of the pylorus has been $postulated^{2-6}$. We performed immunocytochemical staning to the pyloric muscle from 10 IHPS and 3 controls patients, utilizing specific monoclonal antibody to NCAM(neural cell adhesion molecule). In IHPS patients, the number of NCAM protein immunoreactive nerve fibers were less than that in normal subjects. Auerbach myenteric plexuse was well developed and interbundle nerve plexuse was present but nerve fibers supplying individual muscle cells in smooth muscle bundles were poorly developed. These results indicate reduction of innervation in smooth muscles in IHPS patients that possibly contributes to the pathogenesis of IHPS.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the applicability of intravenous atropine sulfate therapy in infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS). From 1998 to 2000 among 35 cases of IHPS, pyloromytomy was performed in 13 (Group A), and intravenous atropine was given as a primary therapy in 22 cases (Group B). In group A, all cases were cured completely. In group B, 13 (59 %) out of 22 cases were successfully treated with atropine, but 9 were failed therapy, and required operation. The recovery period to normal feeding and the hospital stay of the successful atropine group were longer than those of pyloromyotomy, 8.6 days vs. 2.9 days and 13.2 days vs. 4.1 days, respectively. In conclusion, intravenous atropine therapy did not replace pyloromyotomy, but it might be an alternative for the selected patients with contraindications for operation.

목 적 : 비후성 유문 협착증은 비교적 흔한 기형으로 조기에 진단하여 적절한 외과적 수술을 하면 예후가 좋은 질환으로, 최근 초음파검사의 대중화가 이루어지면서 임상적 양상의 변화가 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 비후성 유문 협착증 환자를 대상으로 임상소견을 분석 관찰하고 초음파 검사를 시행하여 수술시의 결과와 비교하여 초음파검사의 진단적 의의를 알아보고 변화되고 있는 비후성 유문 협착증의 경과, 진단, 치료 결과를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 방 법: 1991년 1월부터 2001년 8월까지 9년 8개월간 침례병원 소아과에서 진찰 소견, X-선 검사, 초음파 검사 또는 상부위장관 조영술 및 수술로써 비후성 유문 협착증으로 확진된 39례를 대상으로 발생빈도, 연령 및 성별분포, 가족력, 수유와의 관계, 임상증상 및 진찰 소견, 검사 소견, 증상 출현의 시기, 진단, 치료 및 경과, 초음파 소견과 수술시 측정치에 대하여 후향적 분석을 하였다. 결 과: 1) 입원시 연령은 생후 2-5주가 24명(61.5%)으로 가장 많았고, 증상이 나타난 시기는 생후 2-5주가 33명(84%)으로 가장 많았으며 병력 기간은 3-4주 이내에 내원한 경우가 대부분이었다. 2) 남녀비는 남아 25명, 여아 14명으로 남아가 전체의 64%로 많았고 초산아가 22명(56.4%)으로 가장 많았다. 3) 수유와의 관계는 인공 영양아 14명, 모유영양아 20명, 혼합 영양아 5명으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 4) 입원시 체중이 3 백분위수 이하는 8명(20.5%)이 였다. 5) 임상 증상으로서는 전례에서 무담즙성 분출성 구토를 보였고, 진찰 소견으로서 유문부 종양이 23명(59%)에서 촉지되었으며 위유동파는 6명(15.%)에서 관찰할 수 있었다. 6) 입원시 혈중 전해질 농도 검사상 저염소혈증은 9명(23%), 대사성 알카리증 역시 9명(23%)이였고 저칼리움혈증이 6명(15.3%)에서 나타났다. 7) 초음파 검사상 유문근층 두께는 4.0-8.0 mm($4.95{\pm}0.99mm$), 직경은 11-20 mm($14.42{\pm}2.64mm$), 길이는 15.0-25.0 mm($20.17{\pm}3.92mm$)였다. 8) 수술시 측정된 유문근층 두께는 4.0-8.0 mm($5.11{\pm}1.01mm$), 유문 직경은 12.0-20.0 mm($15.01{\pm}2.47mm$), 유문 길이는 17.0-25.0 mm($2.32{\pm}3.43mm$)였다. 9) 치료로 Fredet-Ramstedet 유문근 절개술을 시행하였다. 10) 수술 후 소수에서 구토 증세를 보였으나 시간경과에 따라 호전되었으며 수술 후 퇴원까지의 평균입원 일수는 6.7일이었다. 결 론 : 비후성 유문 협착증은 탈수 및 전해질 장애, 영양 장애, 체중 감소를 동반하므로 정확한 조기진단과 탈수 상태 및 전해질 이상을 신속히 교정하여 수술시기와 수술 후 회복을 앞당기는 것이 중요한 과제다. 저자들은 비후성 유문 협착증 환아에서 수술시의 측정치가 초음파 측정치보다 전반적으로 길었으나 유의한 차이는 보이지 않음을 확인하였다. 근래 비후성 유문 협착증 전형적인 소견들이 감소하면서 진단시 점점 더 초음파 등 영상검사에 의존하게 되었다. 초음파 검사로 대사적 이상이 나타나기 전 조기 진단이 가능해지면서 향후 예후에 중요한 인자로 작용하여 임상양상 변화가 예상된다.
