This document provides an overview of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS). IHPS is a condition characterized by hypertrophy of the pyloric muscle which causes failure of the pylorus to relax. It typically presents in infants between 2-5 weeks of age with projectile vomiting after feeding. On examination, an olive-sized mass may be palpated in the epigastric region. Diagnosis is confirmed through imaging studies showing dilation of the stomach and "string sign" on barium studies. Treatment is through pyloromyotomy to divide the thickened pyloric muscle.
