Skip segment Hirschprung's disease (SSHD) is an uncommon variant of Hirschprung's disease where normal intestine is interspersed proximally and distally by abnormal, aganglionated intestine. These segmental changes have no well-defined embryological explanation. We present a case of SSHD in the small bowel and concomitant perforated Meckel's diverticulum, with review of the literature relevant to SSHD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
