FIGUEIREDO, Sizenildo da Silva et al. Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis: clinical, radiographic and sonographic characterization. Radiol Bras [online]. 2003, vol.36, n.2, pp.111-116. ISSN 1678-7099.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0100-39842003000200010.

Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is a common condition in infants with 2 - 12 weeks of postnatal life. The cause of this disease remains obscure. Clinical diagnosis is based on the history of projectile, nonbilious vomiting, gastric hyperperistalsis and a palpable pyloric "tumor". The authors review the typical findings seen on upper gastrointestinal x-ray series and abdominal ultrasonography. The diagnostic criteria for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis are presented and the applications of these two methods are established on the basis of the current literature.
