What are the different types of Hirschsprung disease?

There are two main types of Hirschsprung disease, known as short-segment disease and long-segment disease, which are defined by the region of the intestine lacking nerve cells. In short-segment disease, nerve cells are missing from only the last segment of the large intestine (colon).

What are the clinical manifestations of Hirschsprung's disease in an infant?

Bloody diarrhea: Children with Hirschsprung's may also get enterocolitis, a life-threatening infection of the colon, and have bad cases of diarrhea and gas. Vomiting: The vomit may be green or brown. In older children, symptoms may include growth issues, fatigue, and severe constipation.
