    Abstract : Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital defect of the enteric nervous system characterized by a lack of enteric neurons in the distal hindgut. Motility disturbances in the distal colon usually lead to neonatal intestinal obstruction. The birth prevalence of HSCR has been assessed to 1 in 5,000 live births. READ MORE

    Author : Helena Wigander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
