Abstract
Pyloric stenosis also known as Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (IHPS), is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in infancy. IHPS occurs secondary to hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the muscular layers of the pylorus, causing a functional gastric outlet obstruction. IHPS can be diagnosed by radiography and/or ultrasonography. An Endoscopy-Guided Balloon Dilatation (EGBD) is a new non-operative technique which can be used as a choice in treating IHPS.
