Abstract
This article reports a full-term infant with Hirschsprung disease (HD) who was diagnosed to have hypertrophic Pyloric stenosis (HPS) and age nesis of corpus (callosum (ACC). Pyloric stenosis is known to be assoc iated with HD. To our knowledge, the combination of Hirschsprung disea se, hypertrophic pyloric stenosis and agenesis of corpus callosum has not been reported previously. We believe these three conditions are du e to an underlying pathophysiologic mechanism.
