Neurologic disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, or extrinsic innervation may present with similar symptoms and share common pathophysiology, such as rectal impaction, loss of an urge to defecate, inability to trigger a defecation sequence, obstructive defecation, or incontinence. If these symptoms are persistent or bothersome, they require treatment. The management of a patient with neurologic anorectal dysfunction depends on the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms. Dietary advice, bowel training, pharmacotherapy, and rehabilitative treatment may be used alone or in combination.
