In a retrospective study of Hirschsprung's disease two monoclonal antineurofilament antibodies were tested immunohistochemically. Biopsy samples of rectum and colon were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. Tissue sections from normal controls and from unaffected colon of patients with Hirschsprung's disease showed partial staining of only some of the axon bundles in the myenteric and in the submucous plexus. In contrast, in all tissue sections from colon affected by Hirschsprung's disease there were heavily stained hyperplastic axon bundles. Sections of colon from patients with various other neurogenic disorders of the colon were studied by the same method; the characteristic Hirschsprung picture was never seen.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006965 Hyperplasia An increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ without tumor formation. It differs from HYPERTROPHY, which is an increase in bulk without an increase in the number of cells. Hyperplasias
D007231 Infant, Newborn An infant during the first 28 days after birth. Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D009197 Myenteric Plexus One of two ganglionated neural networks which together form the ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. The myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus is located between the longitudinal and circular muscle layers of the gut. Its neurons project to the circular muscle, to other myenteric ganglia, to submucosal ganglia, or directly to the epithelium, and play an important role in regulating and patterning gut motility.

D006627 Hirschsprung Disease Congenital MEGACOLON resulting from the absence of ganglion cells (aganglionosis) in a distal segment of the LARGE INTESTINE. The aganglionic segment is permanently contracted thus causing dilatation proximal to it. In most cases, the aganglionic segment is within the RECTUM and SIGMOID COLON.
