title: A rare case of multiple skip segment Hirschsprung's disease in the ileum and colon.
abstract: As a rare form of Hirschsprung's disease, skip segment Hirschsprung's disease (SSHD) involves a "skip area" in normally ganglionated intestine, surrounded by aganglionosis. We report a case of multiple SSHD in the ileum and colon with total colonic aganglionosis. To our knowledge, this is the 27th case of SSHD, the third paper on multiple-segment SSHD, and the second patient with SSHD in the ileum to be reported in the English literature.
