anorectal manometry

Anorectal manometry may help to differentiate acquired from congenital forms.

Data from these two patients are included in the statistical analysis of the diagnostic anorectal manometry, as they were incontinent.

It has also been reported that there is a high false positive rate of anismus diagnosis with anorectal manometry for similar reasons.

Some have advocated the use of anorectal physiology testing (anorectal manometry).

After the first interview 10 patients (seven good responders, three poor responders) had a second diagnostic anorectal manometry.

This therapy directly evolved from the investigation anorectal manometry where a probe that can record pressure is placed in the anal canal.

Clearly, they are complementary and appropriate studies - radiography, anorectal manometry, electromyography, cystometry - must be performed.

Anorectal manometry.

At diagnostic anorectal manometry, they showed an isolated alteration of squeeze duration without any impairment of internal anal sphincter function.

Defecography, sigmoidoscopy, transrectal ultrasound, mucosal biopsy, anorectal manometry and electromyography have all been used to diagnose and study SRUS.

In CIP oesophageal manometry is abnormal in more than 50% of children, antroduodenal manometry is abnormal in virtually all, but anorectal manometry is normal.

Some researchers have suggested that anismus is an over-diagnosed condition, since the standard investigations or digital rectal examination and anorectal manometry were shown to cause paradoxical sphincter contraction in healthy controls, who did not have constipation or incontinence.
