The experience about 73 defecographic exams performed in pediatric age is reported. The casuistry is critically analyzed, taking into consideration the most recent non radiological diagnostic improvements. In the authors' opinion, defecography in pediatric age is advisable in the diagnosis and post-operative control of fecal incontinence. In the other cases radiology may be substituted by other less invasive and sometimes more precise methods.
