ABSTRACT
The serum gastrin level was estimated in eighteen children with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis at the time of pyloromyotomy. We also estimated the gastrin level in a control group. It was found that there was no significant difference of gastrin level between the two group. It was also found that serum gastrin in the neonatal period is higher than serum gastrin of normal adultsThe widespread use of maternal ultrasonography has resulted in an increasing number of newborns diagnosed with obstructive uropathy [O.U]. Over the past 4 years, 39 neonates had been referred for evaluation of their prenatally detected O.U. thirty-four were males. Mean time of prenatal ultrasound examination was 32 +/- 2 weeks of gestation. Postnatal evaluation consisted of ultrasonography, voiding cystourethrography, excretory urography and radionuclide renal scan to assess the differental function and document the severity of obstruction. One infant died at 2 days of age. In the remaining 38 patients, surgery was needed in 34 of them. The excellent postoperative clinical and radiological status of these patients further advocates early intervention when feasible
