Overview

The pathogenesis of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is not completely understood[1]. However, infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis may result from abnormal innervation of the pyloric smooth muscle.[1] The chloride loss due persistent vomiting results in hypochloremia which impairs the kidney's ability to excrete bicarbonate. This factor significantly prevents correction of the alkalosis. The secondary hyperaldosteronism develops due to the hypovolaemia. The body's compensatory response to the metabolic alkalosis is hypoventilation resulting in an elevated arterial pCO2. In relatives of probands of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis patients and monozygotic co-twins the recurrence pattern did not depict a single major inheritance.

Pathophysiology

The pathogenesis of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is not completely understood.

  • However, infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) may result from abnormal innervation of the pyloric smooth muscle.[1]
  • Evidence of increased collagen production and abnormal amounts of extracellular matrix proteins has also been observed in patients with hypertrophic pyloric muscle.[1]
  • The gastric outlet obstruction due to the hypertrophic pylorus impairs emptying of gastric contents into the duodenum. As a consequence, all ingested food and gastric secretions can only exit via vomiting, which is projectile in nature. The vomited material does not contain bile because the pyloric obstruction prevents entry of duodenal contents (containing bile) into the stomach. This results in loss of gastric acid (hydrochloric acid). The chloride loss results in hypochloremia which impairs the kidney's ability to excrete bicarbonate. This factor significantly prevents correction of the alkalosis.[2]

Associated Conditions of Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis

Various conditions associated with infantile pyloric stenosis include:[6]

Gross Pathology

On gross pathology, characteristic findings of pyloric stenosis include:

  • Hypertrophic muscularis mucosa
