Neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD) is fecal incontinence or constipation which is prevalent in kids with both congenital and acquired neurological disorders. NBD results from loss of normal sensory or motor control and may include both the upper and the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract Constipation and fecal incontinence are frequent symptoms of neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD), which makes it a challenging condition to treat. Also, they have a major impact on quality of life and dignity. Bowel dysfunction is less studied compared to neurogenic bladder, generally prevelant in spina bifida, but practically as prevalent in other neurological conditions. Generally, the objective of neurogenic bowel management is to achieve complete emptying of the rectum on a systematic basis. This may be accomplished through with a multidimensional approach containing of conservative, medical and even surgical approaches. A modified Delphi procedure was used to construct a statement document. This paper discusses the various causes of paediatric NBD. Our aim is to enhance clinical management, numerous therapeutic techniques are given. Due to both the improved survival rate and better diagnosis, there are more children and teenagers with NBD. The number of children and adolescents with NBD is growing as a result of better diagnosis and a greater survival rat NBD can cause either faecal incontinence or constipation, or both, with a fair amount of predictability. However, each patient will experience NBD in a different way depending on a variety of underlying conditions and coexisting conditions. Due to the status of the affected child and caregivers, management of NBD should be individualized using a combined multidisciplinary therapy.
