ABSTRACT
We report a case of primary hypertrophic pyloric stenosis combined with a paraduodenal hernia in a 35-year-old woman. The patient presented with signs of obstructive ileus. CT of the abdomen revealed a marked dilatation of the stomach and the proximal jejunum as well as a circumferential thickening of the antral-pyloric region with characteristics indicating hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Exploratory laparotomy revealed the presence of a paraduodenal hernia containing jejunal loops and marked thickening of the pyloric region. The jejunum was reduced to its normal place and the ostium of the paraduodenal hernia closed with a running suture. The hypertrophic pyloric stenosis was treated with pyloromyotomy. Since the patient had no predisposing factors for the development of secondary pyloric stenosis, we considered the pyloric stenosis as congenital in origin. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of congenital pyloric stenosis combined with the presence of a paraduodenal hernia in an adult
