Oesophageal atresia and pyloric stenosis - an association.
The incidence of pyloric stenosis is higher in infants with oesophageal atresia than in the general paediatric population. Techniques in oesophageal atresia repair, such as gastrostomy, may be responsible for this. Pyloric stenoses occurred in two cases of oesophageal atresia repair using gastrostomy and transpyloric feeding tubes.
