Hirschsprung's disease is the malformation of the hindgut characterised by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the submucosal and myenteric plexuses and manifested by megacolon. Congenital character of this disease stipulates its belonging in general to the scope of activity of the pediatric clinics. Thanks to the progress of the pediatricians problems of diagnosis and treatment of Hirschsprung's disease have been successfully resolved.
