Fecal incontinence (neurogenic)

Authoring team

Neurogenic faecal incontinence is a condition said to be present when an individual cannot control the contraction of the rectum caused by passage of faeces into the rectum from the sigmoid colon.

These individuals pass a normal, formed stool at infrequent intervals.

It is similar to uninhibited neurogenic bladder, occurring only in the context of severe dementia, but this association should not be used as an excuse for not investigating for constipation.
