A Condition Should Be Remembered In Newborn Constipation Hirschprung Disease

Abstract

Hirschsprung disease is a developmental disorder of the enteric nervous system and is characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses of the distal intestine. This condition results in absence of peristalsis in the affected bowel and the development of a functional intestinal obstruction. It occurs in approximately 1 in 5000 live born infants and usually presented with delay in the meconium passage, distended abdomen, feeding intolerance and bilious vomiting. Here in, clinical and radiological evaluation of a male infant who diagnosed with Hirschsprung's disease in the neonatal period was presented.

Abstract

Hirschprung Hastalığı enterik sinir sisteminin gelişimsel bir bozukluğu olup distal kolondaki myenterik ve submukozal pleksuslarda ganglion hücrelerinin yokluğu ile karakterizedir. Bu durum etkilenen barsak kısmında peristaltizmin yokluğuna ve fonksiyonel intestinal tıkanıklığa yol açar. Yaklaşık 5000 canlı doğumda bir görülmekte ve genellikle mekonyum çıkışında gecikme, karın distansiyonu, beslenme intoleransı ve safralı kusma ile karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Burada yenidoğan döneminde Hirschprung Hastalığı tanısı konulmuş erkek bebeğin kliniği ve radyolojik tetkikleriyle değerlendirilmesi sunulmuştur.
