Abstract
Management of neonatal Hirschsprung's disease based on diagnosis by histologic techniques and frozen acceptable method. However, the non-availability of histologic and histochemical techniques often necessitates alternate approaches. In 376 infants below the age of 2 months who were admitted with the presumptive diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease, a barium enema was the key investigation. Histologic confirmation could be obtained after a colostomy was established. Manometry allowed the detection of any diagnostic errors. The overall error rate was approximately 4%. An alternate algorithm is suggested for the management of Hirschsprung's Disease, particularly in less well-developed centers.
