IND is a distinct clinical entity that is genetically different from HD,5 which is characterized his tologically by a total increase in the number of gan glia and ganglion cells per ganglion in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses in the colon.6 IND type A presents acutely in the neonatal period with episo des of intestinal obstruction, diarrhoea, and bloody stools; and in IND type B the clinical picture is in distinguishable from HD.7 When normal ganglion cells are present in the submucosal and intramuscular layers, their population is decreased; the disease is referred to as hypoganglionosis.8 Almost all cases reported in literature occurred relatively late in chil dhood9 and the common complaint of the patients with hypoganglionosis is intractable constipation.10

In the porcine stomach, it is formed by the myenteric plexus (MP) located between the longitudinal and circular muscle layers, which mainly regulates the proper gastric motility, both after and between the meals, and the submucosal plexus (SmP) is situated in the inner side of the circular muscle layer, primarily regulating fluid secretion and resorption [9,10].
