Overview

The pathogenesis of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is not completely understood. However, infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis may result from abnormal innervation of the pyloric smooth muscle.

Pathophysiology

The pathogenesis of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is not completely understood.

  • However, infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) may result from abnormal innervation of the pyloric smooth muscle.
  • Evidence of increased collagen production and abnormal amounts of extracellular matrix proteins has also been seen in patients with hypertrophic pyloric muscle.[1]
  • The pathophysiology for adult-onset hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) is not comprehensively understood.

Genetics

In relatives of probands of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis patients and monozygotic cotwins the recurrence pattern did not depict a single major inheritance.[2]

Associated Conditions of Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis

Various conditions associated with infantile pyloric stenosis include:[3]
