Article Synopsis
- The study focused on comparing the enteric nervous systems in patients with chagas disease-related megacolon, idiopathic megacolon, and a control group.
- A total of 12 chagasic megacolon patients, 9 idiopathic megacolon patients, and 10 control patients were examined through surgical specimens for differences in nerve and cell types.
- Findings revealed significant reductions in enteric neurons and glial cells in chagasic patients, along with increased fibrosis and mild lymphocyte infiltration, indicating notable abnormalities in their enteric nervous systems compared to both idiopathic and control patients.
