Entry term(s) agangliosis cólica

hipogangliosis cólica
megacolon congénito
Scope note: MEGACOLON congénito que resulta de la ausencia de inervación en un segmento distal del INTESTINO GRUESO. Los segmentos denervados están permanentemente contraídos, causando dilatación proximal a los mismos. En la mayoría de los casos el segmento denervado se encuentra en el RECTO o el COLON SIGMOIDEO.

Scope note: 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.
