title: [The histopathological diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease. Our experience over 18 years].
abstract: Having had several cases of difficult interpretation from the anatomopathological point of view, we make a review of all intestinal biopsies carried out in 54 patients for diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease and above all of the suction rectal biopsies. The result has been seven cases with false diagnosis that represents 22 per 100 of the series. We analyse the possible causes that can lead to false positives and negatives results with the suction rectal biopsy, like the height where the biopsy has been taken, the age of the patients (71 per 100 of false results were in children under one month) and finally other diagnosis like hyperganglionisme.
