cholelithiasis
congenital condition characterized by mucous buildup within the lungs and other areas of the body
cystic fibrosis
complete blockage at the pyloric sphincter
duodenal atresia
narrowing of the pyloric sphincter
duodenal stenosis
congenital hypoplasia of the esophagus; usually associated with a tracheoesophageal fistula
