Clinical presentation, medical history, treatment outcomes, and results of ARM and other diagnostic tests were collected. We compared data between IASA patients, HD patients, and a matched control group of patients with functional constipation (FC).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Key results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We reviewed 1,072 ARMs and identified 109 patients with an absent RAIR, of whom 28 were diagnosed with IASA. Compared to patients with FC, patients with IASA had an earlier onset of symptoms and were more likely to have abnormal contrast enema studies. Compared to patients with HD, patients with IASA were more likely to have had a normal timing of meconium passage, a later onset of symptoms, and were diagnosed at an older age. At the latest follow\u2010up, the majority of patients diagnosed with IASA (54%) were only using oral laxatives. Over half of patients with IASA had been treated with anal sphincter botulinum toxin injection, and 55% reported a positive response.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions and Inferences<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients diagnosed with IASA may represent a more severe patient population compared to patients with FC, but have a later onset of symptoms compared to patients with HD. They may require different treatments for their constipation and deserve further study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/nmo.14028","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,11]],"date-time":"2020-12-11T02:42:39Z","timestamp":1607654559000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["The not\u2010so\u2010rare absent RAIR: Internal anal sphincter achalasia in a review of 1072 children with constipation undergoing high\u2010resolution anorectal manometry"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0163-9354","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Desiree F.","family":"Baaleman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition Department of Pediatrics Nationwide Children\u2019s Hospital  Columbus OH USA"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition Emma Children\u2019s Hospital, Amsterdam UMC University of Amsterdam &amp;
