Functional Faecal Incontinence in Children

Abstract
A classification for etiology, management, and prognosis is presented. Previously, management had been unsatisfactory, as the problem was looked at as either mechanical or psychiatric. It is concluded that the treatment of choice in most cases of functional fecal incontinence is pediatric out-patient management using simple psychiatric methods and oral laxatives as required.
