Congenital prepyloric web is a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction.
Esophageal contrast barium study or ultrasonography should be used for the
diagnosis, because of their high diagnostic value. In the literature, there are
limited cases in which the diagnosis was made by surgical exploration after
the observation of gastric dilatation and gasless abdomen on radiographic
images. In this report, we present a prepyloric web case, diagnosed by surgery
performed after the plain radiography in order to evaluate the etiology of
vomiting in a preterm infant.
