Abstract

In a patient complaining of constipation since birth, delayed transit time in the ascending colon was related to a congenital malformation of the hindgut, different from Hirschsprung's disease. This was associated with absence of the left lobe of the liver. There was no propagating electrical muscular activity in the distal bowel.
