Congenital Prepyloric Gastric Atresia

Gastric Atresia

“…Bennett (1937), Touroff and Sussman (1940), and Fell (1951) found, as we did, the cause in a prepyloric diaphragm. Burnett and Halpert (1947) and Brown and Hertzler (1959) in other cases observed connective tissue up to 1 cm. in length in the pyloric area, completely occluding the pyloric channel.…”

“…It is possible now to resect the central part and slit the border radially. Brown and Hertzler (1959) reported on two children with connective tissue 0 6 cm. in length in the pyloric channel, found by a longitudinal incision of the pylorus.…”

Antral mucosal diaphragm as a misdiagnosed cause of gastric outlet obstruction: case report and review of the literature

“…No proposed classification for antral web had a wide acceptance in the literature. Brown and Hertzler classified congenital obstruction in three types 27 . A) Due to single or double diaphragm; B) An area of mucosal atresia; C) Complete segmented aplasia.…”

A Rare Gastric Outlet Anomaly: Pyloric Ostium on Incissura Angularis

“…In pediatric studies, reported incidence is estimated to be 1 in 20,000-40,000 births, but incomplete obstructive lesions such as duodenal webs are even rarer, accounting for only 2% of these defects [6,7]. Although various rare types of gastric outlet anomalies including pyloric agenesis, pyloric stenosis, pyloric webs, duodenal webs, and Springer annular pancreas have been reported [1][2][3][4][5], in the English literature, we could not find any gastric outlet anomaly such as our patient's. In this case it was also interesting to see that with such an anomaly major gastric complaints were not present until the sixth decade.…”
