    Area of Science:

    • Psychopathology
    • Adolescent Development
    • Gastrointestinal Symptoms

    Background:

    • Encopresis is an underreported psychopathological symptom in adolescents.
    • It does not define a specific diagnostic entity.
    • Understanding encopresis requires evaluating diverse developmental and pathological contexts.

    Observation:

    • Case 1: Encopresis throughout development, linked to characterological pathology.
    • Case 2: Encopresis as a minor symptom within a broader psychotic disintegration.
    • Both cases present distinct adolescent pathological entities and developmental backgrounds.

    Findings:

    • Encopresis manifests differently based on underlying psychopathology.
    • Severe characterological pathology can present with encopresis.

  • Psychotic disintegration can include encopresis as a symptom.

    • Implications:

    • Encopresis requires individualized assessment in adolescents.
    • Consideration of developmental history is crucial for diagnosis.
    • Further research into the link between encopresis and severe psychopathology is warranted.
