[Bowel function of spina bifida].
Bowel function of the spina bifida was studied by clinical assessment and anorectal manometric studies. Anorectal pressure profiles were well correlated with clinical assessment but not with recto-anal inhibitory reflexes. Early training of the defecation is emphasized to obtain good bowel function.
