X-Ray
Abdominal Xray findings associated with Hirschsprung's disease may include:
- Radiography performed in children with Hirschsprung disease yields findings similar to those in other forms of low small bowel obstruction: variable gaseous distention of the colon and small bowel, often with air-fluid levels.
- The colon is usually difficult to identify accurately, and gas is usually absent in the rectum.
