pyloric stenosis is gonna be a hypertrophied mass on biopsy plus non-billious vomiting (hasnt reached duodenum) vs duodenal atresia which is billios vomiting and will show a dubble bubble sign (since there is inflammation proximal and distal to it). TE Fistula is a fistual between esopahgus and trachea plus a blind esophagus so right when you try feeding the baby he pukes it out (non billious) also you get air in the stomach coming from the trachea. Thats all i can remember off the top of my head
So im assuming if they ask about a baby who soon after births starts vomiting, it would be TE fistula?
Pyloric stenosis in FA says there would be vomiting at around 2 weeks of age, when would we see the signs of duodenal atresia? 2 weeks also?
