Abstract (2. Language): 
We reported one pair of identical male twins with IHPS who were born with caesarian section. During the third week of life, they suffered from episodic non bilious vomiting. Examination revealed low activity levels, dry lips, sunken eyes, and depressed anterior fontanelle with moderate degree of dehydration. Olive was palpable in both twins and ultrasonography showed a hypoechoic target lesion in the the right upper quadrant of abdomen in both twins. IHPS were confirmed. Ramstedt extramucosal pyloromyotomy was done on same day, hospital stay remained uneventful and both continued to gain weight.
