The authors present a retrospective analysis of 65 patients with hypertrophic stenosis of the pylorus treated atthe Clinic of Paediatric Surgery and Traumatology in Brno in 1992 - 1997. Familial, personal history data, clinicalsymptoms and ultrasonography findings were evaluated. The sex ratio of the group of patients monitored duringthe period was 4.9 : 1 (boys : girls), first symptoms were demonstrated most frequently during the fourth week oflife (average 30.5 ± 15.4 days). Infants with gradually intensifying vomiting (64.7 % children) prevailed. Palpablefindings, indicating suspicion of HPS, were positive only in 11 children (17 %). In order to specify the diagnosis ofHPS it is necessary to perform an ultrasonographic examination. Confirmed HPS was treated by surgicalintervention in all children.
Key words: hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, vomiting, ultrasonography
