    (2015) Gezer, H. O.; Oguzkurt, P.; Temiz, A.; Hicsonmez, A.; 0000-0002-4635-2613; 0000-0001-8789-6003; 24724922; J-3197-2013; H-6409-2011; A-4719-2018
    The etiology of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) remains obscure. Over 120years after the condition has become a clinical entity the debate whether the cause of IHPS is genetic, environmental or both, has not yet reached a final conclusion. Herein, we present a pair of monozygotic male twins with IHPS together with a review of the literature. We aimed to support genetic pre-disposition in the epidemiology of IHPS, adding a twin data to the literature and to review the associated articles about the pathogenesis and inheritance patterns.
