title: Myectomy-myotomy for long segment Hirschsprung's disease in a patient with Haddad syndrome.
abstract: Hirschsprung's disease is a rare entity with an incidence of 1 in 5000 live born infants. Long segment Hirschsprung's disease occurs in approximately 5% to 10% of this patient population and is defined as a transition zone proximal to the sigmoid colon (Bodian M, Carter CO, Ward BC. Hirschsprung's disease. Lancet. 1951;1:302-309). The association of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (also known as Ondine's curse) and Hirschsprung's disease is termed Haddad syndrome.
