Acquired gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) during infancy and childhood represents an uncommon event. We describe a 6-year-old boy with GOO who did not respond to medical treatment or to endoscopic pyloric balloon dilatations. The stenosis was successfully treated with laparoscopic pyloroplasty which relieved the obstruction. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Acquired gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) during infancy and childhood represents an uncommon event. We describe a 6-year-old boy with GOO who did not respond to medical treatment or to endoscopic pyloric balloon dilatations. The stenosis was successfully treated with laparoscopic pyloroplasty which relieved the obstruction. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.
