What is Hirschsprung's Disease? |
|
Text 
|
Hirschsprung's Disease (HD) is a rare condition in which the nerve cells (known as ganglion cells) are absent in a segment of bowel. The ganglion cells control the muscles of the bowel. Because the muscles can't relax well it creates a functional blockage. Contents are pushed along until they reach the affected part of bowel where the passage slows and a blockage occurs. |
