[Neonatal pyloric obstruction. Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Apropos of 5 cases].

Abstract

Five cases pyloric obstruction, revelated at the birth-period were summarized from 1964 to 1987; 1 pyloro-duodenal atresia, two cases of total pyloric obstruction by diaphragm, two cases of pyloric obstruction associated with several ileal and/or-colic atresia in the same family, and suspected at the antenatal echographic study. The treatment was either pyloro-duodenal anastomosis (1 case) or diaphragmatic resection with pyloroplasty (4 cases). In immediate results are obtained one immediate death, at the third day, and 4 initial good results; but two deaths came in a further period at 3 months and 8 months (the same family) with sepsis after ileus. A syndrome of immuno-deficiency was demonstrated in this two familial cases.
