The exact etiology of pyloric stenosis is not fully understood, but several factors are believed to contribute:
1. Genetic Factors: There is a higher incidence of pyloric stenosis in certain families, suggesting a genetic predisposition. 2. Environmental Factors: Certain environmental factors during the perinatal period may also play a role. 3. Hormonal Influences: Hormonal imbalances may contribute to the abnormal growth of the pyloric muscle. 4. Neural Components: Abnormalities in the innervation of the pyloric muscle can also lead to its hypertrophy and hyperplasia.
