Complex radiologic investigation for disorders of defecation in children

: The work presents findings obtained by the radial examination of the anorectal area including routine methods such as irrigography and balloon proctography as well as modern technologies such as endorectal ultrasonography with a transducer of high resolution (7.5 MHz) and computed tomography in 250 children with more common syndromes in colonoproctology: constipation and incontinence of feces. Results of the endosonographic investigation of the normal sphincter apparatus in children are described. It is confirmed that endosonography is of great importance for the detection of the isolated intumescence of the anal sphincter. Computed tomography is also necessary for traumas of the anorectal area in children.
