ABSTRACT

It is estimated that the range of spinal cord injuries varies from 13 to 220 injuries per million inhabitants, predominantly in men before the age of 29 and after the age of 65. The traumatic cause is still primarily responsible. Faced with a spinal cord injury, a patient suffers a terrible impact on his life, affecting the physical, psychic, social and economic spheres. It is estimated that intestinal dysfunction occurs in up to 68% of patients with spinal cord injuries. Affecting social life in up to 42% of cases. The term neurogenic bowel dysfunction refers to bowel dysfunction related to central nervous system involvement or injury. Numerous therapeutic options are available for the treatment of such pathology. The purpose of this paper is to list the different existing available treatments, as well as the benefit they may have demonstrated. This is an unlimited subject, which undoubtedly requires much more research to provide sufficient data for a better evolution in these patients.
