Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the non-invasive diagnostic methods and rectal suction biopsy for the detection of Hirschsprung disease (HD). Methods: We reviewed diagnostic methods and results retrospectively in patients who underwent anorectal manometry, barium enema and rectal suction biopsy for the diagnosis of HD at Asan Medical Center from January 2000 to December 2012. Results: There were 97 patients (59 neonates and 38 infants) in the study period. The overall accuracy of anorectal manometry for the diagnosis of HD was 71.1% and its sensitivity was 51.4% (48.1% in neonate and 62.5% in infant, respectively) and its overall specificity was 82.3% (81.3% in neonate and 83.3% in infant, respectively). The Overall accuracy of barium enema was 66.0% (72.8% in neonate and 55.3% in infant, respectively) and specificity of barium enema was 53.2% (56.3% in neonate and 50.0% in infant, respectively). These results were lower than those of anorectal manometry. The overall sensitivity of barium enema was 88.6% (92.6% in neonate and 75.0% in infant, respectively) and it was higher than the sensitivity of anorectal manometry. Histological studies confirmed HD in 35 patients, in one of whom the suction biopsy showed negative finding. Conclusion: Accuracy of non-invasive methods for diagnosis of HD in our study is lower than those in previous study, so we need to improve the quality of diagnostic tools in our hospital. We conclude that the rectal suction biopsy is the most accurate test for diagnosing HD, so the biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of the HD is very important.

1987년 5월에서 1997년 10월까지의 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원에서 임상적으로 선천성 중장 회전 이상을 의심하여 방사선학적으로 진단되고 수술을 시행한 17명의 환아를 대상으로 임상소견과 수술 기록 및 방사선학적 소견을 후향적으로 분석한 결과는 임상적인 주된 증상은 구토나 구토를 동반한 복통이었으며, 수술 소견상 16명의 환아에서 선천성 중장 회전 이상이 확진되었고, 1명의 환아에서 중장 회전 이상 없이 윤상 췌장으로 진단되었다. 모든 환아에서 상부 위장관 조영술과 바륨 관장술을 시행한 결과, type I인 경우가 3명, type IIA가 2명, type IIC가 1명, type IIIA가 5명, type IIIc가 4명이었으며 이중에서 type IA로 진단된 1명은 수술 소견상 윤상 췌장으로 확인되었다. 수술로 확진된 16명의 환아중 13명은 상부 위장관 조영 소견에서 선천성 중장 회전 이상이 진단되었고 3명의 환아에서는 상부 위장관 조영 소견은 확실하지 않았으나 바륨 관장 소견상 선천성 중장 회전 이상이 증명되었다. 결론적으로 선천성 중장 회전 이상은 중장 염전과 장 괴사와 같은 치명적인 합병증으로 출생 첫 주에 높은 사망률을 보이기 때문에 조기 진단이 매우 중요하며, 임상적으로 선천성 중장 회전 이상이 의심되면 상부 위장관 조영술을 먼저 실시해야 하고 십이지장 공장 접합부가 정상적으로 위장 유문부와 같은 축상에 있는지 우측 측사위 촬영에서 확인해야된다. 비록 정상 소견을 보일지라도 위음성이 있을 수 있으므로 반드시 바륨 관장술을 실시해서 압박, 사위, 좌측와위 촬영에서 맹장과 회장 말단부의 위치를 확인해야 될 것으로 생각된다.

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.

A 70-year-old female patient was admitted due to the impression of lung abscess via local clinic. Chest P-A showed air shadow containing huge mass lesion in the right lower lung field, pericardio phrenic angle. But the patient complained of only mild upper respiratioy tract infection symptoms and the laboratory tests were within normal limits. Barium enema and chest C-T taken right after barium enema were performed in suggestion of the diaphragmatic hernia. Barium filled transverse colon and associated omentum were in the right anterior hemithorax surrounded by the hernial sac. The mass lesion shown in the chest P-A was compatible with the diaphragmatic hernia, Morgagni type. Operative reduction of the herniated bowel and simple closure of the diaphragm was performed.

Purpose: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been increasing in Asian countries including Thailand. Double contrast barium enema (DCBE) is one of the investigation tools used in CRC screening. This study aimed to determine the incidence of colorectal neoplasm detected at screening by DCBE in Thai people. Methods: The computerized radiology database of screening DCBE in Thai adults between June 2009 and October 2011 at the Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, was reviewed. DCBE examination performed in a surveillance program after curative CRC resection or the removal of colorectal polyps was also considered as a screening DCBE. Results: A total of 819 screening DCBEs performed during this 28-month period were analyzed. The mean age of patients was $59.8{\pm}13.6$ years. Of the total, 467 (57%) were male. A family history of CRC and a previous history of curative CRC resection or polyp removal were noted in 34 patients (4%) and 124 patients (15%), respectively. A total of 31 patients (3.8%; 95%CI = 2.7%-5.3%) were reported to have colorectal polyp or mass demonstrated on DCBE. Of these, follow-up endoscopy was performed in 20 cases (65%). According to pathological results, the incidence of advanced adenoma and CRC detected at screening DCBE was 0.7% (95%CI = 0.3%-1.6%; n=6) and 0.4% (95%CI = 0.1%-1.1%; n=3), respectively. Conclusions: The screening DCBE performed in Thai adults had a diagnostic yield of 0.7% for advanced adenoma and 0.4% for CRC.

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.

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.
