Abstract
Pyloric atresia is a very rare malformation. Up to 1987, 140 cases of complete pyloric obstruction had been described in the available medical literature [9]. Four patients with congenital pyloric atresia are presented. On the basis of our own cases and those described in the literature, clinical features, diagnostic procedures, and therapy are summarized and discussed. The typical radiological and clinical signs should in most cases lead to the correct diagnosis.
