This happens in babies when the sphincter or valve-muscle overdevelops for reasons not very well understood, or in adults due to an ulcer or cancer scarring and closing the narrow passage out of the stomach. When no food or drink can pass the pylorus the person is starved and rapidly becomes dehydrated. The body's chemistry is also affected very quickly. Before surgery to open the passage can be done safely, the body must be intravenously fed and rehydrated to restore its health and ability to withstand surgery.
