Abstract:
Anal incontinence and gastrointestinal disorders are one of the major causes of impaired quality of life in patients with neurological disease. Patients are very often too embarrassed to spontaneously talk about these problems and problems of chronic constipation can lead to microbial maceration, a known risk factor for urinary tract infection. In this article, the authors review the physiology of defecation and describe the main disorders observed in the various neurological diseases and their management.
