High‐resolution colonic manometry accurately predicts colonic neuromuscular pathological phenotype in pediatric slow transit constipation

Background  Severe pediatric slow transit constipation (STC) is commonly due to intrinsic colonic neuromuscular disease. We sought to correlate neuromuscular histological phenotypes in pediatric STC with colonic manometric phenotypes using high‐resolution manometry (HRM). We tested the hypothesis that failure of motor quiescence (FQ) between bisacodyl‐induced high amplitude propagating sequences (HAPSs) might predict neuromuscular pathology.
