Overview
Abdominal X-ray is the primary modality of choice in diagnosing Hirschsprung's disease. Findings may be decreased bowel caliber in the involved segment, along with colonic distension.
X-Ray
Abdominal plain x-ray findings associated with Hirschsprung's disease may include:
- Radiography performed in children with Hirschsprung's disease yields findings similar to those in other forms of distal small intestine obstruction; variable gaseous distention of the colon and small bowel, often with air-fluid levels.
- The colon is usually difficult to identify, accurately; gas is usually absent in the rectum.
