Info
Abnormal dilatation of transverse and descending colons are noted in the reference image.
There is a short segment of circumferential smooth narrowing of the proximal rectum with the sigmoid colon disproportionately distended in comparison to the rectum (rectosigmoid ratio < 1).
Case Discussion
The imaging findings are suggestive of a short segment Hirschsprung disease. For confirmation full thickness rectal biopsy is required.
