Abstract
Constipation is a common problem for children with disabilities. The inability of children with disabilities to communicate abdominal discomfort or pain with stooling may impair the ability to diagnose constipation. The causes of constipation may vary with the type of disability. The type and degree of disability also has an impact on treatment modalities. Constipation may have many adverse consequences, including behavioral problems, poor feeding, pain, rectal bleeding, the social stigma and emotional stress associated with incontinence, as well as potentially serious problems such as megacolon and bowel obstruction. Identification and treatment of constipation in children with disabilities is, therefore, of high importance.
