Typically pyloric stenosis presents around 6 weeks as projectile vomiting refractory to anti-emetics. The highest incidence is in caucasian males. Ranitidine would be helpful in GERD which does not present like this. KUB would be helpful to screen for a volvulus, midgut malrotation, or toxic megacolon.
