The pyloric sphincter is the sphincter between the stomach and the small intestine. Normally, the sphincter opens to allow food to enter the small intestine. In some cases, however, the pyloric sphincter may be too stiff or too small and food cannot get through it to enter the small intestine. This is a condition that babies can be born with, and requires surgery.
