Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pyloric stenosis is a condition in which there is narrowing of the pylorus, the opening that connects the stomach to the small intestine. This can result in projectile vomiting, as the stomach contents are unable to pass through the narrowed opening. Diarrhea (A) and jaundice (B) are not typically associated with pyloric stenosis. Ascites (D) is a buildup of fluid in the abdomen and is not directly related to pyloric stenosis.
