A case of pyloric atresia diagnosed in the third trimester is described. Real‐time ultrasonographic examination revealed polyhydramnios, enlarged stomach, evident gastric peristalsis and esophageal dilatation. Color and pulsed Doppler studies of the gastroesophageal junction revealed the presence of a biphasic flow pattern that was consistent with gastroesophageal reflux.
