CONT

La continence anale est un phénomène complexe, largement inconscient et multifactoriel comprenant des muscles lisses, striés, des mécanismes passifs, des actions volontaires ou réflexes.

CONT

Le test de continence par perfusion intrarectale apprécie la gravité de l'incontinence. Elle permet d'apprécier la continence chez les patients présentant une diarrhée, mais n'apporte aucun renseignement sur le mécanisme de l'incontinence car elle ne fait pas la part entre l'hypotonie neuromusculaire et les troubles de la compliance rectale.
