- Ninety-four percent of Hirschsprung's disease cases are diagnosed before the patient reaches 5 years of age.
- History of longstanding recurrent constipation, relieved by laxatives.
- History of progressive abdominal distention, colicky pain or acute intestinal obstruction. [3]
Symptoms
The cardinal symptoms of Hirschsprung's disease include:
Other common symptoms that can be observed in patients with Hirschsprung's disease include:
- Constipation
- Malabsorption
- Poor weight gain
- Slow growth (0-5 years child)
- Watery diarrhea
Adult Hirschsprung's disease
- Hirschsprung's disease is uncommon in adolescence.
