Roentgenologically Demonstrable Gastric Abnormalities in Cases of Previous Congenital Pyloric Stenosis

Abstract

Clinical examinations carried out within recent years of adults with a history of manifest congenital pyloric stenosis (cong. pyl. sten.) revealed a higher incidence of peptic ulceration than in the normal population (BENDIX and NECHELES 1947, STEINICKE NIELSEN 1954). In a series of 95 cases with a history of cong. pyl. sten., the latter found 27 (28 yo) with symptoms of gastritis or peptic ulcer against 12 (12 yo) in a control

Simple and complicated hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in the adult

“…They also noted that it is uncommon for symptoms of pyloric stenosis to persist into adult life. Nielsen and Roelsgaard (1956) examined 45 adult patients (37 men and eight women aged from between 25 and 50 years) who had been treated medically for pyloric stenosis in infancy and found radiological evidence of residual stenosis in 35, as well as evidence of peptic ulcer in 14 (eight duodenal, five pyloric, and one gastric). Nineteen of their 45 patients (42 %) had dyspepsia symptoms, and these did not include all those with ulcers.…”
