description

Three types of neuronal intestinal dysplasia (type A, type B, and combination with Hirschsprung’s disease) can be distinguished. Functional assessment of the affected bowel segments can be achieved by functional colonic ultrasonography, thus providing exact parameters for further therapeutical procedure. The technique is described. Ten children with neuronal intestinal dysplasia in whom functional colonic ultrasonography was employed and results of their follow-up examinations are reported.
