Motility disorders are common in children and may affect any area of the gastrointestinal tract. During the last decade, there have been significant advances in the understanding of motility disorders in pediatrics. More sophisticated testing techniques have helped to differentiate normal from abnormal motility in children of different ages. Manometry may now be used to clarify the pathophysiologic defect underlying chest pain, dysphagia, rumination, gastroparesis, chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and colonic neuromuscular disorders. Motility testing may also be used to identify the motor defect responsible for persistence of symptoms after surgery for gastroesophageal reflux or Hirschsprung’s disease. New investigation techniques and prokinetic agents likely to be available in the future are also discussed.
