Down's syndrome associated with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis

Abstract EN

Down's Syndrome (DS), or Mongolism, is a commonly occurring congenital abnormality that had been known to be associated with major congenital anomalies, of which are gastrointestinal malformations that rank second after cardiac malformations.

In the present paper, a rare association between DS and Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (IHPS), occurring in a female infant, is reported.

The condition is discussed and some highlights on such an association were presented.
