Hirschsprung's disease is a condition that affects the large intestine (colon) and causes problems with passing stool. It is present when a baby is born (congenital) and results from missing nerve cells in the muscles of a portion of the baby's colon. Children with Hirschsprung's disease are often constipated. In severe cases, the child experiences an obstructed colon and is unable to have a bowel movement. Hirschsprung's disease is treated with surgery to remove the affected portion of the colon. After surgery, most children pass stool normally.
