Congenital Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis
When a baby has vomiting that comes out forcefully after eating and shows constant hunger, it is a good idea to consider congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. It involves a thickening of the muscle of the pylorus, the outlet from the stomach to the intestine, which hinders the passage of food and usually appears in the first weeks of life.
How it usually presents: projectile vomiting, weight loss or poor weight gain, persistent hunger after vomiting, irritability, and, at times, signs of dehydration.
When care is urgent: repeated and forceful vomiting in an infant always warrants prompt review, since it can affect hydration and nutrition.
Which specialists treat it? The pediatrician is usually the first contact, supported by gastroenterology, and the general practitioner can guide the initial visit. In the face of a baby with intense and frequent vomiting, seeking timely medical care is the most advisable course.
