Chronic constipation is the one of the most common pathologies of gastrointestinal tract in childhood.

The diagnosis of connective tissue dysplasia signs was executed with the aid of table by V.G. Arsentiev consisted of modified diagnostic signs. Children with connective tissue dysplasia were revealed to manifest chronic constipation with more severe complicated course 6.7 times more often, that serves a cause to detect a physical disability due to disease. 42% of patients with chronic constipation have deficit of body mass. Despite a long period of time from the onset of symptoms of constipation in children, over 36% of parents had not sought medical help.
