Hirschsprung’s disease (HIRSH-sproongz), commonly known as congenital aganglionic megacolon, is developed when nerve cells are absent at the end of the baby’s intestine, slowing down the bowel’s movement through the intestine. This type of disease is congenital and genetic and affects around one in every 5,000 infants.
However, abnormalities may or may not be visible at the time of conception. Furthermore, kids with health conditions, such as down syndrome and heart diseases, are more at higher risk.
