Overview

The pathogenesis of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is not fully understood but it may be due abnormal innervation of the pyloric smooth muscle.

Pathophysiology

The pathogenesis of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is not fully understood but it may be due abnormal innervation of the pyloric smooth muscle. There are also some locus evidences of increased collagen production and abnormal amounts of extracellular matrix proteins in hypertrophic pyloric muscle.[1] There is no known pathophysiology for adult-onset hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS).

Genetics

In one study, the familial recurrence pattern among monozygotic cotwins and more remote relatives of IHPS probands was found to be inconsistent with generalized single major inheritance.[2]
