Pyloric stenosis in premature infants.
Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is widely believed to be uncommon in premature infants, and is known to present after the corrected age for a 'term baby'. This cautionary tale highlights the fact that this condition can occur in a premature infant (and may present) in an atypical way well before the infant becomes a 'term baby'.
