24-Hour Colonic Manometry in Pediatric Slow Transit Constipation shows Significant Reductions in Antegrade Propagation

Abstract

Prolonged pancolonic manometry in children with STC showed significant impairment in antegrade propagating motor activity and failure to respond to normal physiological stimuli. Despite this, HAPS occurred with normal frequency. These findings suggest significant clinical differences between STC in children and adults.
