Pyloric stenosis in a newborn baby with polycystic kidneys

Abstract: Patients with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) have an increased incidence of renal anomalies. Association of IHPS and polycystic kidney disease (PKD) has been reported in three case histories. It is uncertain whether the association of PKD and IHPS is due to genetics, a pathophysiological link or a chance phenomenon. One hypothesis linking the two conditions is nitric oxide synthetase (NOS) deficiency. NOS deficiency leads to lack of locally available nitric oxide causing a failure of smooth mus… Show more

“…There have been reports of extracolonic diverticular disease 127. A rarely reported association of ADPKD is with idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis 128. This may represent a chance association, but a deficiency in nitric oxide synthase could be the underlying cause of both conditions.…”

“…A concomitant edema could involve also the antropyloric region and cases of IHPS have been described [ 28 ]. Interestingly, a frequent recurrence linked polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and IHPS to NOS deficiency [ 29 , 30 ]. Renal neuronal NOS and inducible NOS in cystic epithelium are suppressed or lost in PKD rats [ 31 ].…”

“…Our patient had ICV thrombosis and pyloric stenosis secondary to her large size hepatic cysts. To our knowledge, pyloric stenosis has not been previously described as a complication of ADPKD, in contrast to children with PKD in whom idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis has been described [ 11 ], and it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a patient with polycystic kidney disease and persistent vomiting with malnourishment.…”
