Abstract
A structured questionnaire was sent to the parents of 120 children from a cohort 192, who had undergone a pyloromyotomy for pyloric stenosis at Westmead Hospital during the years 1984-91. Information was gained from 85 children in 82 families regarding gastrointestinal complaints and family history of pyloric stenosis. There were few gastrointestinal problems, no reports of recurrent abdominal pain, but two reports of clinically significant vomiting (2.3%) and one of infantile colic. Of the 85 individuals studied, 21 (24.7%) had a positive family history of pyloric stenosis, a higher frequency than previously reported.Keywords
