Symptoms of Hirschsprung's disease

summary

Hirschsprung's disease is undoubtedly a kind of malformation. Neonatal Hirschsprung's disease, also known as intestinal agangliosis, 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. Let's talk about the symptoms of Hirschsprung's disease.

Symptoms of Hirschsprung's disease

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.

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.

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.
