This case study details a 6-month-old infant presenting with vomiting and constipation, ultimately diagnosed with Hirschsprung disease. The infant underwent preoperative washouts, leading to improved feeding and readiness for a one-stage pull-through repair. Key findings included aganglionic distal rectosigmoid and ganglionated proximal sigmoid sections. The study emphasizes the importance of timely evaluation of infant constipation, confirming ganglionated bowel before anastomosis, and...
