Abstract
The rate of return to normal of the pylorus muscle in infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis was measured by ultrasound, using a simple pyloric volume calculation and a pyloric muscle index. The muscle hypertrophy took from two to 12 weeks to resolve.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
