What are the normal measurements of the pyloric canal?
Pyloric muscle thickness, i.e. diameter of a single muscular wall on a transverse image: <3 mm. Pyloric transverse diameter less than or equal 14 mm. Length, i.e. longitudinal measurement <15 mm.
The patient was examined in the oblique position for better visualization of the pyloric canal after feeding.
The pyloric canal was measured in different planes as:
- pyloric muscle thickness: about 0.5 cm
- length: 2.35 cm
- pyloric transverse diameter: 1.45 cm
The stomach was distended.
