Hirschsprung
Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital disorder of the large intestine (colon) that affects the muscles in the intestine and obstructs the passage of stool. It is a relatively rare condition, affecting about 1 in 5,000 births.

In people with Hirschsprung's disease, these muscles are missing or abnormal, preventing the stomach contents to pass into the rectum and then out of the body. If left untreated, the condition can lead to complications such as constipation, bowel obstruction, and rectal bleeding. It is usually treated with surgery to remove the affected part of the intestine and replace it with a healthy segment.
