- Abstract: Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is a disease entity synonymous with infants and newborns. We present a case of HD in a 21-year-old female that was never diagnosed in her infancy. This case highlights the diagnosis of HD in adults and enlightens us that this congenital disease may rarely be diagnosed in adults.
