Abstract

A 7-month-old male infant presents with two episodes of green emesis, lethargy, oliguria, and decreased stool output. The mother states he was a full-term baby with no prior illnesses or surgery. He fed normally for months until the day prior to presentation. His last normal, non-bloody bowel movement was 24 hours ago. His heart rate is slightly elevated and he is normotensive and afebrile. He is lethargic but otherwise has a normal physical examination. His abdomen is soft, nontender, and nondistended.
