[Stenosis of the colon in childhood].

The authors report 6 cases of colonic stenosis (three males and three females, range of age 9 days-4 months) observed from 1982 to 1985 in the Department of Pediatric Surgery in Bambino Gesù Hospital. Three out of six have been admitted with the diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis soon after birth. The authors have observed 2 cases of colonic stenosis in neonatal age, 1 case aged month, both suffering from Hirschsprung's disease. A file for the diagnosis has been performed for all patients. Stenosis have been observed in the descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectosigmoid tract, multiple stenosis were present in 2 patients. In 5 patients the surgical treatment has been the removal of stenotic tract. In three patients a colostomy on transverse colon has been performed followed by abdominal perineal intestinal lowering. The authors stress the importance of anorectal manometry among investigations usually performed to exclude Hirschsprung's disease.
