What is another word for pyloric stenosis?
Pronunciation: [pa͡ɪlˈɒɹɪk stɛnˈə͡ʊsɪs] (IPA) 
Pyloric stenosis is a medical condition that affects the opening between the stomach and small intestine, leading to vomiting, weight loss, and dehydration. There are several synonyms for this condition, including hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, and gastric outlet obstruction. These terms all refer to the same condition, which is typically diagnosed in infants between three and five weeks of age. While it is a serious condition, surgery is often effective in correcting the problem and allowing infants to eat and grow normally. It is important for parents to be aware of the symptoms of pyloric stenosis and seek medical attention if they suspect their child may be affected.
