“Investigations of anorectal manometry, endosonography and colonic transit studies provide noninvasive objective assessment of diagnosis and severity of chronic IC and fecal incontinence in children. This information is valuable for the clinician to plan the treatment strategy and for parents and children to understand the underlying pathophysiology.“(Keshtgar et al., 2013)
“CTT provides an objective measure to assess childhood constipation. To date, 6 studies using 5 different methods have been published reporting values for healthy children. Comparing these, Abrahamson’s method has low radiation exposure and is well tolerated. This study contributes additional normal values in children.” (Wagener et al., 2004)
“The CTT of normal healthy children is not sex- or age-related (above the age of 3 years). The Abrahamson method for CTT measurement by using bony landmarks for the determination of colon segments is easy to perform and well tolerated with a virtual inexistent rating difference between different observers.” (Velde et al., 2013)
