A 3-year-old child was sent for an abdominal ultrasound to a public clinic with complaints of rare stools, as it became known after an ultrasound scan, the child had previously undergone an X-ray contrast study of the large intestine in the hospital with a diagnosis of megacolon.
On ultrasound in the projection of the left hypo- / mesogastrium, a section of the large intestine enlarged to about 5.4 cm, presumably the sigmoid colon, is visualized (diff. diagnosis: Hirschsprung's disease, dolichosigma, etc.).
A consultation with a gastroenterologist is recommended.
