[Classification of chronic colostasis in children].
Chronic constipation--is a sign of many kinds of organic and functional affection of the colon and the rectoanal zone. It is observed in children of any age, it is characterized by durable absence of nonstimulated defecation act, as well as by various duration and severity. Constipation is delineated into a distinct disease, but classification of chronic colostasis, which meets the today's demands, is absent. The classification of chronic colostasis of their own is proposed by the authors, it reflects most entirely the causes and pathogenetic mechanisms of this failure in children.
