INDICES> Re: pyloric stenosis

["J.N. van den Anker @ ALKG" <2262@fs1-cdai.azr.nl>]

We do not use nitrates at all for this diagnosis. I have never read 
 about this treatment at all. Of course I'm aware of the 
potential role of NO in pyloric hypertrophia. There is also a role of 
NO in Hirschsprung disease, but I do not think that NO will help this 
infants. 

To my opnion in this situation it is still wise and necessary to ask 
the surgeon to do a pyloromyotomy.
