title: [Clinical value of anorectal manometry in childhood].
abstract: Anatomy and physiology of the anorectum has been studied with manometric techniques in a normal group (n = 34) and in patients with anorectal pathology (n = 477). Authors comment manometric anomalies found in anorectal atresias, Hirschsprung's disease, constipation, neurogenic disorders (spina bifida, sacral agenesia) and the value in diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic measures that this technique demonstrates.
