Q

Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis sono (its a fucking paragraph)

A

We can visualize
pyloric muscle
lack of passage of fluid through pylorus
stomach is often filled with water even with fasting
The trv plane demonstrates the long axis of the pylorus
The sag plan demonstrates the transverse axis of the pylorus
If the pylorus is not visualized, give the child water to display gastric lumen
Thick displaced pylorus is medial to GB.
