ABSTRACT

Introduction: constipation is a symptom or condition that can compromise the quality of patient's life. Its global prevalence varies between 2% and 28%.
Objective: evaluate the correlation between the results of imaging tests and anorectal manometry in patients with suspected functional constipation.
Methods: the sample consisted of 37 patients, who underwent radiological examinations of sequential cecocolografía (colon or swallowed), colonic transit time with radiopaque markers, defecography and manometric examination. Kappa index was calculated to determine the correlation.
Results: 62.2% of patients were female, the predominant age was between 41 and 60 years (43.2%), mobile blind predominated (54.2%) as a cause of constipation. 14 studies of colonic transit time with radiopaque markers, were made, 28.6% of them presented a slow transit time. 4 patients underwent defecography and 3 had pelvic floor dysfunction. It was found that 94.6% of imaging tests and 78.4% of manometries were positive (Kappa p = 0.006).
Conclusions: imaging techniques used in this study are suitable for diagnosing functional constipation and consistency of these techniques is suitable anorectal manometry.
