CASE STUDY 2: NARROWING OF DISTAL RECTAL SEGMENT

,

This is a case of a 4 months old baby, who was suffering from constipation .Usually the stool has to be removed mechanically. The stool was hard. Her appetite had diminished, but was thirsty, by drinking water.  She had an aversion to milk. She always wanted somebody to carry her. She had a habit of putting one finger in mouth. She had ectopic dermatitis during birth which was treated with some external applications.   
Barium meal X-ray revealed “Doubtful short relatively narrow distal segment”
Considering the symptoms I prescribed her Colocynth. After ten days the child was again brought to the clinic with no relief. Reconsidering the case I took suppression of the skin complaints and gave Sulphur. After period of one month the dermatitis repapered slightly and disappeared by itself. Now the constipation and every other complaint the child had disappeared

Once again barium meal X-Ray was taken and revealed “NO OBVIOUS NARROW SEGMENTS” 

The Scan reports of the patient are also included here. To keep privacy of the patient, the patient details are removed from the Scan report.
