“…2). However, it has been reported that foveolar hyperplasia has a causal role in postoperative persistent gastric outlet obstruction after pyloromyotomy for IHPS [13][14][15]. Foveolar cell hyperplasia in our patients occurred in a group of older children and is likely a different disease entity and not the remnant of resolved IHPS.…”

“…[6,7] The use of high-resolution ultrasonography, particularly followed by fetal MRI, provides an excellent option for antenatal diagnosis of CPA, as noted in some recent reports. [11,12] In conclusion, gastric perforation due to CPA is extremely rare. In our case, there was only serosal defect at the anterior wall of stomach extending from the gastroesophageal junction to lesser curvature and antrum.…”

Congenital pyloric atresia (CPA) is a very rare malformation with unknown aetiology. It has has numerous complications including gastric perforation, aspiration pneumonia. Gastric perforations in newborns occur by three mechanisms: trauma, ischaemia, or spontaneous. Here, we report a newborn with CPA presenting with gastric serosal tearing without full-cut gastric perforation. The diagnosis was confirmed with the help of plain abdominal radiograph, ultrasound, contrast-study, and at operation. Treatment of CPA is surgery irrespective of the type of atresia. We performed serosa repair and then the solid, cord-like atretic pylorus was excised with accompanying gastroduodenostomy. Our patient had an uneventful course and was discharged at the end of the second postoperative week.

Food allergy (FA) is a disease with increasing prevalence and a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. These include the eosinophilic disorders, which can involve any segment of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), including the stomach. In this context, three patients with a confirmed diagnosis of food allergy, who were initially diagnosed with pyloric hypertrophy, are presented. All cases showed an adequate response to nutritional management. It is essential to consider food allergy, such as eosinophilic gastroenteritis, as part of the differential diagnosis of gastric outlet obstruction in those patients who present vomiting secondary to pyloric hypertrophy.
