[Variability of clinical symptoms in neuronal intestinal dysplasia].
Neuronal intestinal dysplasia is defined as a structural disorder of the innervation of the gut which clinically resembles Hirschsprung's disease. Between 1977 and 1988 12 patients were diagnosed by enzyme histochemistry. In 3 of these patients Hirschsprung's disease was associated. Constipation was the main symptom in 6 patients with neuronal intestinal disease and in all three patients with associated Hirschsprung's disease. The other patients firstly presented with an enterocolitis, a congenital atresia of the jejunum and a chronic enteritis with malabsorption. The wide clinical variability and the lack of a clear therapeutic management valid for all patients is conspicuous.
