| Core Tip |
Occult constipation (OC) is a significant diagnostic challenge because its symptoms, such as abdominal pain and frequent mucoid stools, often mimic those of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea. This clinical overlap frequently leads to misdiagnosis, where patients receive treatments that inadvertently worsen the underlying fecal impaction. Utilizing a plain abdominal X-ray serves as a practical and effective tool to visualize fecal loading and confirm the diagnosis of OC. |
