A group of 176 patients aged 2 to 15 years was investigated for idiopathic disorders of bowel function other than Hirschsprung's disease. Anorectal motility, as well as colorectal transit of radiopaque markers, were investigated. Before the end of the first month of life, 70 of the patients were constipated. Resting pressure was more unstable (P less than 0.001) and higher than normal in the rectal ampulla and upper anal canal (P less than 0.01). Retardation of markers occurred in the proximal and/or distal large bowel of 61% of the patients. The existence of functional abnormalities was demonstrated in the majority of children with idiopathic disorders of fecal continence.
对一组176名年龄在2至15岁之间的患者进行了调查，以研究除先天性巨结肠病之外的特发性肠功能障碍。对肛门直肠动力以及不透X线标志物在结肠直肠的转运情况进行了研究。在出生后第一个月末之前，70名患者出现便秘。直肠壶腹和肛管上段的静息压力比正常情况更不稳定（P<0.001）且更高（P<0.01）。61%的患者在近端和/或远端大肠出现标志物转运延迟。大多数特发性大便失禁患儿存在功能异常。
