| description | Urinary symptoms are well-described in children with chronic constipation which include enuresis, urgency and recurrent urinary infections. Renal tract obstruction is a rare complication of severe chronic constipation. We describe a case of a 10-year-old boy with a history of long-standing constipation who presented with obstructive uropathy. Treatment strategies involved intensive medical therapy, parental education, behaviour modification strategies and close follow-up in a specialised constipation clinic. The obstruction was reversed and medications were discontinued after six months. Successful management of children with chronic constipation involves a multi-disciplinary approach in a specialised constipation clinic. |
