Overview

The causes of infantile pyloric stenosis are unknown, but genetic and environmental factors might play a role in the pathogenesis of infantile pyloric stenosis. Common causes of adult-onset hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) include persisting duodenal hyperacidity, inheritance of a parietal cell mass (PCM) at the upper end of the normal range which causes persisting duodenal hyperacidity.

Causes of infantile pyloric stenosis
- The causes of infantile pyloric stenosis are unknown, but genetic and environmental factors might play a role in the pathogenesis of infantile pyloric stenosis.^[2]
