    Correct answer:

    Hirschprung's disease.

    A congenital condition in which ganglion cells in the distal part of the digestive tract are absent, as a result of which peristalsis isn't possible in the affected area. Possible consequences include bacterial overgrowth and dehydration. In this case, characteristic air-fluid levels and distal dilation of the colon are visible.
