What symptom does congenital megacolon have?

summary

Enterocolitis is the most common and serious complication of Hirschsprung's disease, especially in the neonatal period. Its etiology is not clear. It is generally believed that the basic causes are long-term obstruction a few days ago, secondary hypertrophy and dilatation of the proximal colon, and poor circulation of the intestinal wall. 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. What are the symptoms of Hirschsprung's disease.

What symptom does congenital megacolon have?

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 infants 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, making 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 mainly affected by mucosal edema, ulcers and localized necrosis. Inflammation can show serous congestion, edema and thickening after invading the muscular layer. 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 diarrhea and large amount of intestinal fluid accumulation in the enlarged intestinal tube, dehydration acidosis, high fever and fat are produced, If the blood pressure drops, if not treated in time, it can cause higher mortality.

matters needing attention

Attention should be paid 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 can make the colon hypertrophy and expansion, and the abdomen can appear wide bowel type. Sometimes, it can touch the intestinal loop and fecal stone full of feces, and a large amount of gas and loose stool can be discharged with finger pulling out.
