HSCR cases were excluded. Presence of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and nutritional status (weight\u2010for\u2010age <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic> score) were investigated and compared with a matched cohort with normal biopsy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of 364 children undergoing rectal biopsy for suspected HSCR, 109 had confirmed HSCR, whereas 255 children had normal ganglia. Forty\u2010four of 255 (17%) children had EOS and\/or CINF incidentally reported and are the subject of the present study. In 13 of 44 (29%) children, the biopsy was performed neonatally. At follow\u2010up (4.6 months [1\u201322]), 21 (48%) had food and\/or milk allergy, 30 (68%) had constipation and\/or other GI symptoms.

Only 10 of 44 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0001 vs patients with EOS and\/or CINF) children with normal biopsy had persistent constipation at follow\u2010up (9.7 months [0.5\u201384.7]) and 1 patient had atopy.

Half of these children will need further medical input for the presence of persisting GI symptoms, food\/milk allergy and failure to thrive, and the possibility to develop inflammatory bowel disease
