Hirschsprung's disease?

summary

Hirschsprung's disease of the newborn, also known as intestinal agangliosis, is caused by the continuous spasm of the rectum or the distal colon and the fecal congestion of the proximal colon, which makes the intestine hypertrophy and expansion. It is a common congenital intestinal malformation in children. What are the symptoms of megacolon? Let's talk about it.

Hirschsprung's disease?

(1) Delayed fecal excretion: 90% of cases had no fecal excretion or only a few fecal excretion at birth. After the feces were discharged, the symptoms were relieved, and constipation recurred several days later.

(2) Abdominal distension: 80% of cases showed full abdominal distension, severe abdominal distension cases, abdominal intestinal shape. Anal examination: Anal digital examination can find spasm of internal rectal sphincter and empty ampulla of rectum.

(3) Vomiting: vomiting and abdominal distension occurred in 60% of cases. The more severe constipation, the more frequent vomiting. * complication: neonatal Hirschsprung's disease complicated with colitis. Intestinal perforation is the most serious complication. The colon is often retained in the colon for a long time, resulting in massive feces, poor bowel circulation and bacteria. In addition, the neonatal intestinal wall is thin, the pressure in the intestinal cavity is increased, and the part with the greatest pressure is easy to cause perforation.
