Abstract
Because segmental dilatation of the colon causes severe constipation, it has to be included in the differential diagnosis of every constipated child. A case of segmental dilatation of the colon involving the rectosigmoid area is presented. The differential diagnosis and the treatment of this rare entity are discussed.Keywords
