Method of Preventing Insulin Atrophy

Abstract

In the present case the rapid development of the fibrous stricture of the pyloric antrum and the pyloric stenosis can be seen by comparison of the two barium-meal examinations done 16 days apart. This clearly excludes a congenital abnormality. Summary A case of pyloric stenosis and fibrous stricture of the pyloric antrum developing in under two months in a child after swallowing compound ferrous sulphate tablets is described. Death was due to acute suppurative peritonitis following jejunostomy.The literature on ferrous sulphate poisoning and fibrous stricture of the stomach due to the ingestion of corrosive poisons is briefly reviewed.
