Chronic constipation in children       02/19/05 05:53 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health Volume 41 Issue 1-2 Page 1 - January 2005 doi:10.1111/j.1440-1754.2005.00527.x Review article Chronic constipation in children: Organic disorders are a major cause BR Southwell 1,3, SK King 2,4,5 and JM Hutson 2,4,5 Abstract: Diagnostic tools for paediatric chronic constipation have been limited, leading to over 90% of patients with treatment-resistant constipation being diagnosed with chronic idiopathic constipation, with no discernible organic cause. Work in our institution suggests that a number of children with intractable symptoms actually have slow colonic transit leading to slow transit constipation. This paper reviews recent data suggesting that a significant number of the children with chronic treatment-resistant constipation may have organic causes (slow colonic transit and outlet obstruction) and suggests new approaches to the management of children with chronic treatment-resistant constipation. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/links/doi/10.1111/j.1440-1754.2005.00527.x/abs/ -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
