Abstract
A 15-month-old black male with trisomy 21 and Hirschsprung's disease d eveloped an inflammatory abdominal pseudocyst 1 month after Swenson pu ll-through repair. Although abdominal pseudocyst associated with ventr iculoperitoneal shunts, peritoneal dialysis catheters, meconium perito nitis, and pancreatitis have been reported, this is the first report o f a pseudocyst developing 1 month after a surgical repair of Hirschspr ung's disease.
