Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome.
[megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome]
Megacystis
microcolon
intestinal
hypoperistalsis
syndrome
(
MMIHS
)
is
a
rare
cause
of
intestinal
obstruction
mainly
affecting
female
neonates
.
We
present
a
case
of
a
newborn
female
infant
with
a
history
of
abdominal
distension
,
bilious
vomiting
and
decreased
urine
output
.
Barium
enema
showed
a
microcolon
.
Patient
died
soon
after
admission
and
the
autopsy
revealed
a
shortened
bowel
,
a
microcolon
with
abundant
ganglion
cells
in
the
myenteric
plexus
,
and
an
enlarged
urinary
bladder
.
An
interesting
finding
in
this
case
was
the
presence
of
enlarged
nerve
bundles
containing
several
large
ganglion
cells
on
the
lateral
wall
of
the
cervix
.
The
salient
clinical
and
autopsy
findings
in
this
case
are
presented
.
