[3] In almost all cases of neurogenic bowel dysfunction it is the extrinsic nervous supply affected and the enteric nervous supply remains intact.
Patient education and a good doctor–patient relationship are an important part of care. [7] [21] About 10–15% of people in the developed world are believed to be affected by IBS.

[29] Recognition of SMA syndrome as a distinct clinical entity is controversial, due in part to its possible confusion with a number of other conditions, [ 30 ] though it is now widely ...
