[megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome]
2
cases
of
megacystis
microcolon
intestinal
hypoperistalsis
are
presented
.
A
female
newborn
was
capable
of
being
fed
completely
enterally
after
three
months
.
Laparotomy
was
not
performed
.
A
male
newborn
was
subjected
to
laparotomy
after
3
days
and
an
ileal
stoma
was
applied
.
The
infant
died
after
6
months
of
complete
parenteral
feeding
without
any
peristalsis
having
been
initiated
.
Biopsies
of
the
colon
and
small
intestine
of
the
patient
showed
normal
HE
staining
findings
.
Histochemical
examination
revealed
type
B
neuronal
dysplasia
with
neuronal
hypogenesis
.
The
findings
of
27
cases
described
in
the
literature
are
discussed
with
special
reference
to
the
histological
findings
of
the
intestinal
wall
.
