An eight-month-old, intact female Jindo, weighing 9 kg with a one-day history of acute bloody diarrhea was referred. Plain abdominal radiographic findings included evidence of a soft tissue tubular mass within the dilated colon. In ultrasonographs, a target-like mass was identified with multiple hyperechoic and hypoechoic parallel wall layers. A barium enema showed a large radiolucent filling defect within the colon and a completely occlusive lumen. On the basis of these images, ileocecocolic and colocolic intussusception was diagnosed. Surgical manual reduction, resection and anastomosis were performed. The patient recovered normally without any complications or recurrence.

To investigate the diagnostic accuracy and applicability of barium enema(BE) and rectal suction biopsy with acetyl cholinesterase(AChE) histochemistry in the diagnosis of neonatal Hirschsprung's disease(HD), we retrospectively reviewed the findings of BE and AChE staining in 96 neonates with suspected HD during a 10-year period from January 1991 to December 2000. Sixty-nine cases of HD(58 males and 11 females) and 27 cases of non-HD are included in this study. In regard to BE, HD was based on definite transitional zone, suspicious HD on reversed rectosigmoid index(RSI <1), and non-HD on normal RSI(RSI>1). The histochemical criterion used for the diagnosis of HD was that of Chow et al(1977), i.e., the presence of many coarse discrete cholinergic nerve fibers in the muscularis mucosae and in the immediately subjacent submucosa regardless of infiltration of cholinergic nerve fibers in the lamina propria. Of 66 neonates with HD who underwent BE, transitional zone was identified in 33 cases(50 %) and reversed RSI in 19 cases(21 %), microcolon in 4 cases and normal finding in 10 cases(15 %) while of 27 neonates with non-HD, there was normal finding in 16 cases and reversed RSI in 9 cases(41 %). Thus diagnostic accuracy based on transitional zone was 64 %. The positive predictive value of reversed RSI for the diagnosis of HD was 68 %. Of 42 neonates with HD who underwent AChE histochemistry, there were 41 AChE-positive reactions and one AChE-negative reaction in a neonate with total colonic aganglionosis, while of 27 cases of non-HD, there were one equivocal AChE-positive reaction and 26 AChE-negative reactions. Thus AChE histochemical study showed a 97 % diagnostic accuracy with a 98 % sensitivity and a 96 % specificity. In conclusion, we believe that BE is valuable as a first diagnostic step since about 80 % of neonates with HD show significant radiologic findings such as a transitional zone or reversed RSI. AChE histochemical study was a more reliable diagnos tic tool showing a 97 % diagnostic accuracy, and is part.

It is a fact that there are recent increasing trends or incidence of the colorectal carcinoma among other colorectal diseases. In such trend, the early detection remain to be most important by the air contrast barium enema and total colonofiberscopy. There are several ways to prepare the colon for barium enema and colonofiberscopy which include several agents. The mechanical cleansing have been used most frequently since Brown's method was adapted to be most perfect for colon deansing. The ideal laxatives and enema solutions were limited to adequate dose, it's effectiveness, patient's diet and bowel habit, minimal side effect, low cost and simple to perform. In order to compare the effectiveness of various cleansing solutions, six experimental methods were formed as shown; 1. normal saline enema, 2. castor oil with normal saline enema, 3. castor oil with soap suds enema, 4. magnesium citrate with normal saline, 5. magnesium citrate with soap suds enema and 6. ingestion of Golyetly solution. The authors have compared and determined the degree of cleanness by an experienced endoscopist. The total number of patients was 247, age distribution was $43{\pm}15$ years old, and sex distribution was 133 males and 114 females. The grade I and II represented no difficulties at performing the colonofiberscopy, but grade ill and N had some difficulties, even unable to perform the colonofiberscopy. The effectiveness the cleansing agents, represented with grade I and II was 95.9% (47/49) in method 6, 93.2%(54/58) in method 2, 83.3%(30/33) in method 3, 70.0%(28/10) in method 5, 66.7%(16/24) in method i, and 45.7%(18/40) in method 4. Method 2 and 6 were the most effective in normal bowel habit patients. In constipated patients, method 6 was the most effective and all method except method 11 were effective in diarrhea patients. The degrees of less mucosal irritation by various bowel cleansing method were in the order of method 6(100%), 1(100%), 5(74%), 2(69%). In subjective symptoms and cleansing groups, abdominal distension, pain, nausea and vomiting were complained, and that's subject symptoms were in the order of method 3(88.9%), 6 (79.6%), 1(75%), 5(72.5%), 2(72.4%), 4(67.5%). In conclusion, we believe that the Golytely of the mechanical cleansing solution for colonofiberscopy was the most effective, but others depended on the patient's condition und bowel habit.

목 적: Hirschsprung병의 진단 시 일차적 선별검사로서 항문직장 내압검사의 유용성을 평가하고 한국 영아에서 이 검사에 대한 자료를 제공하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 1995년 7월부터 2002년 5월까지 서울아산병원에 복부팽만이나 구토, 배변장애, 만성설사 등으로 내원하여 항문직장 내압검사를 시행한 61례를 대상으로 그들의 의무기록 정보를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 그 중 33례에서 대장조영술을 시행하였고 두 가지 검사에서 Hirschsprung병이 의심되었을 때 교정 수술 시 얻은 전근육 조직생검상 신경절 세포의 결여를 확인하여 진단하였다. Hirschsprung병의 진단에 대한 항문직장 내압검사와 대장조영술의 예민도, 특이도, 양성 예측치, 음성 예측치를 비교분석 하였고 정상 대조군의 항문괄약근의 길이와 직장항문 억제반사를 일으키는데 필요한 풍선의 공기량을 측정하였다. 결 과: Hirschsprung병으로 확진돤 18례를 환자군으로, 나머지 43례를 대조군으로 하여 측정한 항문직장 내압검사의 민감도, 특이도, 양성 예측도, 음성 예측도는 각각 1.00, 0.91, 0.82, 1.00이었고 대장조영술은 각각 0.93, 0.67, 0.70, 0.92이었다. 정상 대조군에 서 측정한 항문괄약근의 평균길이는 $1.68{\pm}0.67$ cm로 신장, 연령, 체중과 모두 상관 관계를 보였으며 그중 신장과 가장 유의한 상관 관계를 보였다. 또한 정상 대조군에서 직장항문 억제반사를 일으키기 위해 직장내 위치한 풍선에 주입한 공기량의 중위수는 10 mL (5~20 mL)이었고 이는 신장이나 연령, 체중과의 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 결 론: Hirschsprung병의 진단 시 항문직장 내압검사는 일차 선별검사 방법으로 매우 유용함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 정상 대조군에서 측정한 항문괄약근의 길이에 대한 자료는 향후 국내에서 영아를 대상으로 한 항문직장 내압검사에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

Diagnosing Hirschsprung's disease is a clinical challenge. Hirschsprung's disease should be considered in any child who has a history of constipation dating back to the newborn period. We examined diagnostic methods and their results retrospectively in 37 neonates and infants who underwent both barium enema and anorectal manometry for the diagnosis of Hirschsprungs disease at Asan Medical Center between January 1999 and April 2001. Two radiologists and a surgeon repeatedly reviewed both of the diagnostic results. In anorectal manometry, thirty-four studies were in agreement with the definitive diagnosis, giving an overall diagnostic accuracy of 91.9 % (neonate; 100 %, infant; 85.7 %). The accuracy and specificity of barium enema was lower than those of anorectal manometry, but sensitivity was higher. There was no significant difference between the two methods. Both studies showed findings consistent with the final diagnosis. However, discordant results needed further evaluation or close observation to diagnose accurately. We conclude that Hirschsprungs disease should not be diagnosed by only one diagnostic method.

Colonic atresia is the least common form of intestinal atresia. Colonic atresia, like jejunoileal atresia, mostly occurs as a result of an intrauterine vascular accident. According to Sutton's classification, type 1 colonic atresia exibits external continuity with an intraluminal diaphragm(colonic web) which may be imperforate or perforate. Authors experienced a case of colonic web associated with imperforate anus. The patient was treated under the impression of the high type imperforate anus. Posterior sagittal anorectoplasty at the age of 9 months revealed normal anorectal canal. At the age of 12 months, colostomy was repaired. Thereafter abdominal distension was developed. Barium enema noted a membranous obstruction of the colon on the level of the rectosigmoid junction. After exicision of the colonic web, the patient was discharged with no problem.

Chronic functional constipation is a common problem in childhood, with soiling a significant issue. It presents a management problem for pediatrician, and parental concern is high. About 5% of pediatric patients is known to have constipation and/or encopresis which is the second most referred disease in pediatric gastroenterology clinic, accounting for up to 25% of all visits. The etiology of constipation was based on initiation factors including vicious cycle concept, genetic factors, psychological factors, dietary influences and histologic abnormalities of colon. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation and management options that are available to the treating pediatrician. Careful history taking is most important to diagnose functional constipation. In addition, diagnostic tests such as plain abdominal radiograph, colonic transit study, anorectal manometry, barium enema were helpful to diagnose the constipation. Childhood constipation can be very delicate to treat. It often requires prolonged supports by physicians and parents, demystification, medical treatment and especially with the child and parent's cooperation.

We report a case of gastro-colic fistula caused by ectopic gastric mucosa developed at transverse colon. Fistula was detected by colonofiberscopy. And fistulous tract was proved by barium enema. Meckel's diverticulum scan finding was similar to that of GI bleeding; e.g. injected radioactivity was secreted into the lumen and moved along the lumen. There was no bleeding. And there was no diverticulum in the colon. Absence of diverticular pouch may explain this unusual GI bleeding-like scan finding rather than focal collection of radioactivity, which is typical of ectopic gastric mucosa found in the Meckel's diverticulum. Ectopic gastric mucosa was confirmed by colonofiberscopic biopsy. We suggest GI bleeding-like pictures should be included in differential diagnosis of $^{99m}TcO_4$ (ectopic gastric mucosa or Meckel's diverticulum) scan.
