Abstract

Contrast enema is the primary diagnostic method for Hirschsprung disease (HD). However, it alone is not reliable enough for the diagnosis of HD. The method has some limitations in detecting HD in the first month of life and in diagnosing long segment or total colonic aganglionosis. Contrast enema may be more helpful to predict the proximal level of the aganglionic segment, so that it facilitates the surgical planning, rather than diagnosing the disease, and moreover it may be useful in the differential diagnosis of HD.

Özet

Kontrastlı lavman, Hirschsprung hastalığı (HH) tanısında ilk kullanılan yöntemdir. Ancak, HH tanısında tek başına güvenilir değildir. Yöntemin, özellikle yaşamın ilk ayında HH’nın saptanmasında, uzun segment HH ve total kolonik aganglionozis tanısında sınırlamaları mevcuttur. Kontrastlı lavman, HH’nın tanısından çok, aganglionik segmentin proksimal seviyesinin öngörülmesini sağlayıp cerrahi planlamaya yardımcı olabilir; ayrıca, HH ayırıcı tanısına giren diğer hastalıkların ayırt edilmesini sağlayabilir.
