Rectum sizes: Assessment by ultrasonography in children with functional constipation

This study aimed to compare the transverse diameter and thickness of the anterior wall of the rectum in children with normal bowel movement and children with functional constipation in different age groups. Another objective was to find correlations of rectum sizes with faecal incontinence and constipation duration.
