Abstract
Background: HDR syndrome (hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness and renal disease)
is an autosomal dominant condition, defined by the triad hypoparathyroidism, renal dysplasia
and hearing loss. Hirschsprung (HSCR) disease is a variable congenital absence of ganglion cells
of the enteric nervous system resulting in degrees of functional bowel obstruction. Rarer
chromosomal anomalies are reported in combination with Hirschsprung disease like DiGeorge
syndrome, mosaic trisomy 8, XXY chromosomal constitution, partial duplication of chromosome
2q, tetrasomy 9p, and 20p deletion.
Case Presentation: Here, we describe an 8 year‐old girl with HDR syndrome accompanied by
Hirschsprung disease. Although the association of Hirschsprung disease with chromosomal
anomalies has been reported, according to our knowledge, this is the first report of associated
HSCR with HDR syndrome.
Conclusion: The association of HSCR with HDR syndrome has not been reported in previous
studies. This association should be evaluated genetically to assess chromosomal relationships
