What is Hirschsprung Disease and Ribbon Stool about?
Hirschsprung disease is a congenital condition caused by the absence of parasympathetic nerve ganglion cells in the distal bowel. This results in an inability to transmit regular peristaltic waves for stool movement. Stool accumulates proximal to the diseased area, causing a functional obstruction. Common symptoms include constipation, abdominal distention, and ribbon-like stool. Diagnosis involves rectal biopsy to check for the absence of ganglion cells. Treatment depends on severity but may include enemas
