William Meier-Ruge is credited with providing the first description of IND B in 1971.1 At the time, he had pioneered acetylcholinesterase (AChE) histochemical staining of mucosal nerve fibers as a diagnostic adjunct for Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), and he reported on patients with HSCR-like clinical findings and HSCR-like patterns of AChE histochemical staining in their rectal (mucosal + submucosal) biopsies, but in whom the presence of enteric ganglion cells excluded HSCR.

Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is generally believed that the intestinal nervous system develops disorders during the embryonic stage that lead to the development without any ganglia of the distal intestinal mucosa and the muscular layer.[1] A recent study has suggested that this may be associated with specific chromosomal abnormalities and syndromes.[2] In 1948, Swenson et al .
