Tit sign (pyloric stenosis)

Last revised by Daniel J Bell on 29 Nov 2019

The tit sign of pyloric stenosis is seen on barium studies as an outpouching of the lesser curve of the stomach proximal to the impression of the hypertrophied pyloric muscle.

It represents the transient trap of contrast medium between a peristaltic wave and the thickened, hypertrophied pyloric muscle.
