A multidimensional appraisal of the patient suffering from chronic idiopatic constipation is used in this study. 16 consecutive patients affected by chronic idiopatic constipation defined by Rome criteria were enrolled. The following assessments were performed: radiological study of colorectal transit time using radiopaque markers, anorectal manometry, proctography, psychiatric appraisal, with the somministration of The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2, Hamilton Rating Scales for Depression, Hamilton Rating Scales for Anxiety, Toronto Alexithymia Scales, quality of life appraisal, by means of Short Form 36. The present study must be considered a pilot-study, lead on a limited champion of 16 cases; the reported data express therefore tendencies. Chronic idiopatic constipation appears to be a disturbance with a strong impact on the patient's quality of life. The study moreover confirms the hypothesis of a multifactorial genesis for chronic idiopatic constipation, in which psychopathological aspects (anxiety, depression and alessitimia in particular) and personality traits play a fundamental role, as much as the physiopathological alterations. Colorectal transit time study and anorectal manometry confirm to be valid instruments for the evaluation of physiopathological characteristics, useful for a classification of patients, particularly with respect to the presence of a normal or slowed colorectal transit and to the relief of pelvic floor dysfunctions. The differences between subgroups based on physiopathological characteristics, with respect to quality of the life and personality traits, expressed as tendency, need a confirm form studies lead on larger champions.
