Congenital intestinal hypoganglionosis: A radiologic mimic of Hirschsprung's disease
2019, Radiology Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Absence of acetylcholinesterase in the mucosa, reduction of nerve cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexus and reduction in the number of ganglion cells are characteristic findings on histology [4]. Hypoganglionosis has been described throughout the small intestine, colon, or isolated to the left colon or rectosigmoid [4]. Treatment involves resection of the most affected segments of bowel with colostomy or ileostomy formation.
Pathology of intestinal motor disorders in children
2010, Surgical Pathology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Instead, a generous sample of myenteric plexus is required.32 Most quantitative studies of patients with symptomatic CH report reductions in the density of myenteric ganglion cells to at least 50% of normal.41–44 Severe cases are easy to recognize in H&E-stained sections from adequate samples of myenteric plexus.
Counting myenteric ganglion cells in histologic sections: An empirical approach
2010, Human PathologyCitation Excerpt :Some studies suggest that failure to resect the TZ along with the aganglionic segment may account for the postoperative obstructive symptoms observed in many HD patients [10,12,13], but conflicting data exist [14]. Isolated hypoganglionosis (independent from HD) is also a putative cause of pseudo-obstruction [15-20]. Several investigators have counted myenteric neurons and established norms for human intestinal samples.
