Talk:Intestinal neuronal dysplasia

Title
This article probably should be titled Neuronal intestinal dysplasia. I believe that NID is related to but not the same as Hirschsprung's disease. Rewster 05:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * both titles seem to be used. i'm redirecting NID here for the mean time.


 * Rewster is correct - they are similar diseases, but have distinct histopathology - Hirschprung's demonstrates aganglionosis of the colon, and intestinal neuronal dysplasia characterised by hyperganglionosis, with giant ectopic ganglion cells.

NEC has no relation to neuronal dysplasias that I am aware of and therefore this was deleted. if you believe it is related and wish to reinsert, could you kindly include a reference.Whyso (talk) 07:46, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
