Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound is the main tool for diagnosing hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS), but there’s a debate over the measurements used for diagnosis, which seem too large.
- A study of 607 patients found significant differences in the pyloric canal's size and muscle thickness between normal infants and those with HPS, reinforcing the need for revised criteria.
- The researchers suggest lowering the diagnostic thresholds, particularly the canal length from 16.0 mm to 10.0 mm, to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
