Long segment Hirschsprung's disease in the Waardenburg-Shah syndrome

E J Gnananayagam et al. Pediatr Surg Int. 2003 Aug.

Abstract

Presentation with signs of bowel obstruction in an infant with Waardenburg syndrome should raise the suspicion of aganglionosis. We report such a case of long segment Hirschsprung's disease associated with Waardenburg syndrome. Long term care of such children is fraught with high morbidity and mortality.
