Key Points

  • This review aims to synthesize current knowledge and identify gaps regarding non-retentive fecal incontinence (NRFI) in children.
  • Literature search conducted using PubMed and other databases with relevant keywords.
  • Critical appraisal of identified articles to assess current evidence and knowledge gaps.
  • Focus on diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, psychological impact, and therapeutic options.
  • NRFI significantly impacts children's quality of life and psychological well-being.
  • Knowledge about NRFI pathophysiology remains minimal after two decades of research.
