Core Tip	Intestinal motility disorders are frequent in early childhood. Despite the fact that most of these patients suffer from functional problems it is of major importance to recognize the cases with severe underlying organic causes. Pediatric patients with intestinal motility disorders require a standardized diagnostic and if necessary therapeutic approach. Functional constipation is the most frequent condi?tion in toddlers and preschool age, which requires demystification, diet and concomitant laxative treat?ment. Functional constipation carries a very good prognosis. Organic causes are rare in intestinal motility disorders and require therefore meticulous diagnostics and adequate surgical treatment. Hirschsprung disease is the most relevant organic cause for pediatric intestinal motility disorders.
