We present a case report describing a rare cause of a common obstetric complication; pyloric web causing gross polyhydramnios. Polyhydramnios affects 1–2 % of pregnancies, and a proportion of these have an associated fetal anomaly that is not detectable antenatally. Pyloric webs are a rare cause of neonatal gastric outflow obstruction, however the exact incidence is unclear, and has been reported as less than 1 per million live births [ 1 2 ]. Treatment is by surgical excision.
