Abstract

11.The symptoms of pyloric stenosis are projectile vomiting, visible peristalsis, constipation, starvation stools, rapid loss of weight and pyloric tumor.12. Closer observation will reveal, as well, pallor; lividity; loss of turgor; circumoral cyanosis; cold, clammy, cyanotic hands and feet ; subnormal tem¬ perature, unless obscured by starvation elevation, and spasm not only of the pylorus but often of the larynx, pharynx, esophagus, cardia, and various portions of the intestine.There is also hypertonicity of the skeletal musculature.
