Abstract

Hirschsprung disease is a developmental disorder characterized by absence of ganglia in the distal colon, resulting in a functional obstruction.

Here we are presenting a case report of Hirschsprung Disease in a viable age of fetus and sharing our experience in diagnosis and treatment of this rare entity.

Hirschsprung disease is diagnosed in the newborn period, but this rare entity is detectable at early stage with routine ultrasound investigations.
