Prevailing therapy includes a resection of the affected part of the bowel, However, patients often do not obtain complete functional improvement after surgical treatment. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman who had surgical treatment of lid in early childhood. After that procedure she had clinical features of constipation for years in the end, passing of stool once a week, requiring laxatives and enemas. We diagnosed an incomplete resection of the aganglionic bowel via rectal biopsy and resected the remaining aganglionic segment. Two months after surgery the patient's bowel function improved to a frequency of 1-4 stools per day. We conclude that regular follow-up is required to identify lid patients with persistent alterations of bowel function after surgery. In patients presenting with constipation, recognition of a remaining aganglionic segment or other alterations of the enteric nervous system should be aimed at in an early stage. 2005 The WJG Press and Elsevier Inc.

We report a rare case of giant fecaloma in a 22 years old female, with a history of constipation since childhood and an abdominal mass. Abdomen CT scan revealed a giant fecaloma filling sigmoid lumen without signs of ischemia or either complications. Laparotomy and fecaloma extraction trough colotomy was undertaken after failure of conservative measures and endoscopic removal attempt. Hirschsprung disease having been ruled out, sigmoidectomy was performed for idiopathic megacolon. Post operative course was uneventful with good functional outcomes.展开更多
