    Consideration of pyloric stenosis as a cause of feeding dysfunction in children with cyanotic heart disease
    (Wolters Kluwer, 2017) Srivastava, Nayan T; Parent, John J; Schamberger, Marcus S; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Feeding difficulty has been reported at a higher incidence in infants with cyanotic heart disease and single ventricle physiology necessitating specialized feeding strategies. However, structural causes of feed intolerance in this subset of patients should not be ignored. This case series highlights three recent cases of pyloric stenosis in infants with left-sided obstructive lesions at our institution. In all three cases, the initial presumed diagnosis was feeding intolerance related to heart disease, and there was significant clinical improvement following identification and correction of pyloric stenosis.
