Abstract
Hirschsprung disease is the most common neurocristopathy in children, resulting in
the congenital loss of enteric ganglia. Surgery, which involves resecting the aganglionic
segment and restoring bowel continuity, usually results in a good outcome; however,
some patients suffer from multiple episodes of enterocolitis and other obstructive
symptoms. A contrast enema, examination under anesthesia, and rectal biopsy can identify
the cause of obstruction in many cases, including a rare explanation, a twist of the
pull-through, a case of which we present here.
