Segmental dilatation of the colon with bowel wall muscle hypertrophy has been described in children 6 mo and older presenting with constipation since birth. A case of segmental dilatation of the colon without muscle hypertrophy in a newborn argues for the congenital origin of the dilatation and for the muscle hypertrophy being acquired.
出生后即出现便秘的6个月及以上儿童中，已发现结肠节段性扩张伴肠壁肌肉肥厚。一名新生儿出现无肌肉肥厚的结肠节段性扩张病例，提示扩张为先天性起源，而肌肉肥厚是后天获得的。
