We present two cases of dizygotic male twins and two cases of male first cousins with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS). All patients were treated with open pyloromyotomy. No complications were reported. The patients had the same risk factors for IHPS. First, all patients were first-born white males. Second, the twins were preterm (35 weeks). Third, the twins and the first cousins were exclusively bottle feeding. Thus, a combination of genetic and environmental factors may have contributed to the appearance of IHPS.
我们报告了两例同卵双生男性双胞胎和两例男性表亲的婴儿肥厚性幽门狭窄(IHPS)病例。所有患者均接受了剖腹幽门肌切开术治疗。未报告任何并发症。这些患者具有 IHPS 的相同危险因素。首先,所有患者均为头胎白人男性。其次,双胞胎为早产儿(35 周)。第三,双胞胎和表亲均仅奶瓶喂养。因此,遗传和环境因素的组合可能导致 IHPS 的出现。
