Our case indicates that obstruction of the gastric outlet may be strongly associated with poor weight gain in patients with CNS. We should suspect involvement with HPS even if typical symptoms are lacking, and an aggressive intervention may improve poor growth. Thickened edematous mucosal and submucosal layers at the pyloric antrum have the potential to cause the high frequency of HPS in CNS.
