[Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis of the infant. Apropos of 8 cases].
Eight cases of Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis collected in 10 years (1980-1989) in the Pediatric Surgery Unit of the Surgical Clinic of Dakar are reported. The rarity of this pathology among Blacks and a male predominance are noted. The clinical onset occurred after an average period of 3,25 weeks marked by food vomiting. At the start of the surgical management the age of patients was 6 weeks. X-ray examination following a barium meal showed no passage of contrast in 3 cases. However a narrowed and elongated pyloric canal was noted in 5 cases. Abdominal sonography was used in 3 cases and showed gastric stasis with a hypertrophy of pyloric muscle. A rammstedt pyloromyotomy was performed after a period of few hours to 13 days of resuscitation. A duodenal perforation complicated the operation twice and was subsequently repaired. In the post operative period, two patients died within 2-3 days. One of them had duodenal perforation. Six patients made a good recovery.
