Delayed presentation of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis: a case report
Delayed presentation of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is uncommon but critical to recognize. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for IHPS in infants with persistent vomiting, even beyond the typical age range. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are essential to prevent complications and ensure favorable outcomes. This case highlights the importance of recognizing atypical presentations to avoid diagnostic delays.
