One of the earliest signs of mechanical intestinal obstruction is abdominal pain or cramps that come and go in waves.

The cramping results from the inability of the muscular contractions of the bowel to push the digested food past the obstruction.

Hirschsprung's disease, also known as congenital megacolon or aganglionic megacolon, is an abnormality in which certain nerve fibers are absent in segments of the bowel, resulting in severe bowel obstruction.
