Abstract:
Pyloric atresia (PA) is an exceedingly rare congenital anomaly, affecting approximately one in 100 000 neonates. It is classified into three anatomical types: Type I (obliterating diaphragm), Type II (fibrous cord atresia), and Type III (complete separation between the stomach and duodenum). The prognosis depends on early diagnosis, appropriate surgical intervention, and the presence of associated anomalies. We report the first documented case of congenital PA in Sudan, successfully managed with pyloroplasty in a 7-day-old male neonate. This case highlights the importance of timely surgical intervention and provides evidence supporting the efficacy of pyloroplasty in isolated PA.
