Symptoms of acquired megacolon

summary

Acquired megacolon associated with enterocolitis is the most common and serious complication, especially in the neonatal period. Its etiology is not clear. It is generally believed that long-term obstruction a few days ago, secondary hypertrophy and dilatation of the proximal colon, and poor circulation of the intestinal wall are the basic reasons. On this basis, some children have abnormal immune function or allergic reaction constitution, resulting in enterocolitis, Some people think that it is caused by bacteria and virus infection, but most of the stool culture has no pathogenic bacteria growth, and the colon is the main affected part. Tell us about the symptoms of Hirschsprung's disease.

Symptoms of acquired megacolon

Hirschsprung's disease is also called intestinal agangliosis. Hirschsprung's disease is usually called Hirschsprung's disease because it is described in detail by Hirschsprung's disease. It is a common congenital intestinal malformation in children, which is caused by the continuous spasm of the rectum or the distal colon and the proximal colon with fecal congestion.

In children with Hirschsprung's disease, due to the lack of ganglion cells in a certain segment of the colon or rectum, the intestinal tract loses its peristaltic ability and has no propulsive transport function, which makes the feces stay in the intestinal tract. Symptoms include no or only a small amount of feces within 48 hours. You do not have to worry too much, if the treatment is timely, generally can basically restore normal defecation function.

Hirschsprung's disease is the main affected part, with mucosal edema, ulcers, localized necrosis, and inflammation invading the muscular layer, which can show serosal congestion, edema and thickening. There is exudation in the abdominal cavity, forming exudative peritonitis. The patient's whole body problems suddenly worsen, abdominal distension is serious, vomiting and sometimes diarrhea. Due to abdominal diarrhea and the accumulation of a large amount of intestinal fluid in the enlarged intestinal tube, dehydration acidosis occurs, high fever, fast fat, and blood pressure drops, If not treated in time, it can cause high mortality.

matters needing attention

The parents of children should pay attention to malnutrition, growth retardation, long-term abdominal distension and constipation, which can reduce the appetite of children and affect the absorption of nutrition. Fecal deposition makes the colon hypertrophy and expansion, and the abdomen can appear wide bowel type. Sometimes, the intestinal loop and fecal stone filled with feces can be touched, and a large amount of gas and loose stool can be discharged with fingers.
