A neurocristopathy characterised by the association of Hirschprung's disease and Waardenburg's syndrome. In this syndrome the Waardenburg syndrome is associated with white forelock, white eyebrows and eyelashes, iridochromia iridis, and intestinal obstruction caused by a long-segment Hirschprung disease. The syndrome is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait.
