Overview

Physical Examination

Skin

  • Poor skin turgur

Head

Eyes

  • Decereased tearing may be present

Abdomen

  • Palpation of the abdomen may reveal a mass in the epigastrium. This mass, which consists of the enlarged pylorus, is referred to as the 'olive,' and is sometimes evident after the infant is given formula to drink. It is an elusive diagnostic skill requiring much patience and experience. There are often palpable (or even visible) peristaltic waves due to stomach trying to force its contents past the narrowed pyloric outlet.
