Hersh Brungs Disease
Do you know about gastrointestinal diseases? 3
Hirschsprung's disease is a contagious disease (ie present in r). The digestive system consists primarily of muscles, whose function is to direct the digestive system from one end to the other (c'est-à-dire la bouche) l'utre extrémité (c'est-à -tell). Muscles are full of nerves. Nerves are responsible for muscle contraction and relaxation. Hirschsprung's disease does not have these nerves in the muscles of the large intestine (the last part of the large intestine). As a result, there is no movement at this point. As a result, the baby will not be affected. The baby cannot ■■■■■■■■■■ because digestion is affected (ie blocked). Imagine a road with a traffic jam. Nothing can happen until the mob is gone. The baby needs another way of ■■■■■■■■■■■■■. And finally, surgery is needed to remove the obstruction. Contact your child's pediatrician and / or surgeon for more information. Read the following What can you know? Disease booklet:
In Hirschsprung's disease, the aganglionic segment, the part of the nerve that is lost to food transport, may be longer or shorter.
Surgery is usually needed to remove this part. Some babies need colostomy at different times to get out, a hole in the abdominal wall. In the hands of a good pediatric surgeon, the results are usually very good.
Diagnosis may include barium, options, manometry (pressure) or a combination of these.
