Criteria for pyloric stenosis identified using ultrasound methods

Abstract

30 newborns with regurgitation syndrome of varying severity were under observation. The control group consisted of 26 healthy newborns, without any pathological clinical manifestations. All newborns underwent ultrasound examination of the stomach. The study showed that the ultrasound method allows for full visualization of the pylorus in a newborn and is the only additional examination method that allows visualization of the structure of the wall, the length of the muscle layer and the thickness of the muscle layer of the pylorus. The average indicators of the length of the pyloric canal, the length of the muscular layer, and the thickness of the muscular layer of the pylorus in pyloric stenosis in newborns are 2 times higher than those in healthy newborns.
