Abstract:
Intestinal perforation as a presentation of Hirschsprung disease is rare, occurring mostly in infants less than 3 months of age, usually those with long-segment disease. Hirschsprung disease may also be associated with other anomalies, that complicate the management and prognosis. Identifying Hirschsprung disease as a cause of perforation will thus help in deciding the site of colostomy and looking for associated anomalies. We report a case of Hirschsprung disease with multiple intestinal perforations and bilateral multicystic kidney disease.
