Hirschsprung's Disease

Last updated: 9/16/12

You are a medical student, resident, nurse, or other healthcare professional who has been tasked with learning about and reviewing the diagnosis and treatment of HIRSCHSPRUNG’S DISEASE.

You need this information either for a board exam (eg. USMLE, ABSITE, etc) and/or to take care of patients. You need to know the associated eponyms, epidemiology, pathology, pathophysiology, pertinent history and physical exam findings, laboratory and radiologic workup, treatments, complications, and prognosis.

You also need specific multiple choice questions that test your knowledge on this topic and that will help you differentiate this topic from similar topics. You can find all of that information and more here.

This work will also be updated with relevant information from current journal articles and review books. Patients are welcome to use this resource as well.

If you would like to receive free questions, please send an email to absitereviewquestions@gmail.com.
