Abstract
A theory is advanced about the cause of pyloric stenosis of infancy (PS). Developmental changes will conspire to produce pathogenetic gastric hyperacidity within the first 4 weeks of life in babies who develop PS. The prime cause will be an increased gastric acidity due to a genetically determined supernormal parietal cell mass. This theory satisfactorily explains many known clinical features.Entities:
