Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis following repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Abstract

We report a series of three infants that were treated for congenital diaphragmatic hernia and concomitant pyloric stenosis (PS). Presentation of PS may be atypical in this population, and early recognition is important to facilitate advancement of gastric or oral feeds. Long-term outcomes depend on underlying gastrointestinal and neurologic function.
