Case Summary

A case was shared of a newborn with respiratory failure, seizures, and bowel distension, which led to a series of diagnostic tests and eventual surgery. Dr. Castrillon discussed the appropriate next steps for the patient, with most attendees agreeing on a leveling biopsy with a stoma. The discussion also covered the timing for the pull-through procedure, with most agreeing on when the patient is toilet trained for urine and accepts rectal irrigations.
