AB Pyloric  stenosis,  occurring  in  approximately  1  out  of  600  live  births,  is  one  of  the  most  common  gastrointestinal  abnormalities  of  the  newborn.  It  usually  manifests  within  the  first  few  weeks  of  life  and  affects  males  three  to  four  times  more  often  than  females,  and  firstborn  males  are  more  likely  to  be  affected  than  their  siblings.  Pyloric  stenosis  consists  of  hypertrophied  circular  and  longitudinal  fibers  of  the  muscularis  propria  of  the  pylorus  that  results  in  gastric  outlet  obstruction.  It  may  occur  in  association  with  Turner  syndrome,  Edward’s  syndrome  (trisomy  18),  or  esophageal  atresia.
