Colonic stricture complicating degenerative leiomyopathy. A case report.
A case of acute large-bowel obstruction due to colonic stricture complicating degenerative leiomyopathy with massive megacolon (pseudo-Hirschsprung's disease in blacks) is reported. This was successfully managed by colonic resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Organic colonic stricture as a complication of pseudo-Hirschsprung's disease in blacks has not been reported before.
