Translumbosacral Anorectal Magnetic Stimulation Test for Fecal Incontinence.

Background: Neuropathy may cause fecal incontinence and mixed fecal incontinence/constipation, but its prevalence is unclear, partly due to the lack of comprehensive testing of spino-anorectal innervation.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and determine the clinical usefulness of a novel test, translumbosacral anorectal magnetic stimulation for fecal incontinence.

Design: This observational cohort study was conducted from 2012 to 2018.

The GIST of It: A Rare Presentation of Neurofibromatosis Type I.

Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by cutaneous pigmentation and tumour formation along nerves in the brain, skin, and other organs. Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are rare mesenchymal tumours involving the gastrointestinal tract (GI) associated with NF-1. We present a case of life-threatening GI bleeding from GIST in a patient with NF-1.
