Pylorospasm

Pylorospasm is a spastic contraction of the pylorus, observed in people suffering from neuroses. Intense pain in the epigastric region, profuse vomiting of acidic stomach contents appear, pain in the epigastrium on the right is determined upon palpation of the abdomen, and sometimes it is possible to palpate the spasmodically contracted pylorus. X-ray examination of the stomach reveals a slowdown in the evacuation of contrast from the stomach, and spastic contractions of the pylorus can be seen. The diagnosis is confirmed by fibrogastroscopy.
