Abstract
Sarcopenia, defined as loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, is associ- ated with impaired quality of life in elderly age and may cause fecal inconti- nence. Herein we report an elderly men presenting with fecal incontinence due to external anal sphincter fatigability.
Özet
Sarkopeni, ilerlemiş yaşa bağlı kas kütlesi ve fonksiyonlarındaki azalmadır. Yaşam kalitesini etkileyen bir faktör olan sarkopeni, anal sfinkter fonksiyon- larında da azalma ve fekal inkontinense neden olabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda eksternal anal sfinkter yorgunluğuna neden olarak fekal inkontinens gelişmiş bir vaka sunulacaktır.
