Postcard - Giant Colon:
Text on the back of the card reads:
"Mega Colon or Hirschprung's Disease occurs when the nerve
supply to a portion of the colon fails to develop. The muscles receive no
signals to contract and move waste through the system, causing chronic
constipation that leads to over-development of the colon."
Card measures 4.25" x 6"
