    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 1994 Feb; 18(2):193-9. PubMed ID: 8014767.
    Abstract:
    Eleven children with total colonic aganglionosis were studied by esophageal and duodenal manometry. They were separated into two groups: group 1, with ileal involvement, and group 2, without ileal involvement. The results of the digestive motility studies were compared with the extent of ileal involvement of the aganglionosis and with the amount of artificial nutritional support required. All children showed abnormalities on both esophageal and duodenal manometry, suggesting complete digestive tract motility involvement. Recent advances in understanding Hirschsprung's disease and manometrial abnormalities suggest a primary motility disorder in children with total colonic aganglionosis.
