A 6-week-old male infant who has been vomiting after each meal for 3 days is
brought to the office. He is breastfed, afebrile, and otherwise well. The history of the
pregnancy and birth are normal. His birth weight was 3,500 g, and his current
weight is 4,500 g. The physical examination is unremarkable. The mother nurses
the infant in the office. Although he feeds hungrily and well, he vomits about 5
minutes after the feeding. The vomiting is projectile, and the vomitus shoots across
the room. The vomitus contains curdled milk. On reexamination of the abdomen, a
small mass is felt in the right upper quadrant.
