[X-ray diagnosis of different forms of Hirschsprung's disease in children].
The purpose of this study was to examine and compare X-ray signs and roentgenometric parameters in different forms of childhood Hirschsprung's disease for their more accurate diagnosis. A hundred and thirty-eight children with different forms of Hirschsprung's disease were followed up. Among them, the children with a supershort segment of the disease amounted to 55%. All the children underwent a comprehensive examination including barium irrigography according to the procedure described by M.D. Levin, followed by an estimation of roentgenometric parameters. The long forms of Hirschsprung's disease had characteristic X-ray symptoms and their appropriate roentgenometric parameters. The supershort segment of the disease had not a complete complex of characteristic X-ray symptoms and its roentgenometric parameters were in direct opposition to the similar parameters in the long form of this disease.
