A Hirschsprung Pull-through, “with a Twist”
Abstract
Hirschsprung disease is the most common neurocristopathy in children, resulting in the congenital loss of enteric ganglia. Surgery, which involves resecting the aganglionic segment and restoring bowel continuity, usually results in a good outcome; however, some patients suffer from multiple episodes of enterocolitis and other obstructive symptoms. A contrast enema, examination under anesthesia, and rectal biopsy can identify the cause of obstruction in many cases, including a rare explanation, a twist of the pull-through, a case of which we present here.
