Sténose acquise non hypertrophique du pylore chez l'enfant

The diagnosis of NHPS should be suspected in a child with food vomiting and loss of weight if his age is not concordant with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Upper gastro-intestinal series and endoscopy are diagnostic. The precise cause of the stenosis is more difficult to asses. When the medical treatment fails, a pyloroplasty is usually curative.
