Encopresis (Functional Non-Retentive Fecal Soiling): This condition is characterized by the intentional or involuntary passage of feces in inappropriate places, often seen in children around the age of 7. It can occur without constipation and is frequently associated with behavioral issues or psychological problems.

Gastrointestinal Infections: Certain infections can cause fecal soiling due to increased frequency or liquidity of stools, making it difficult for a child to maintain continence.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis can lead to fecal soiling due to chronic diarrhea and urgency.
Food Intolerances or Allergies: Some children may experience fecal soiling due to an intolerance or allergy to certain foods, leading to loose stools or increased frequency.

Hirschsprung's Disease (with a Late Presentation): Although typically diagnosed in infancy, some cases might present later in childhood with chronic constipation often being a symptom, but in rare instances, it could lead to fecal soiling if there's an overflow incontinence.
Spinal Cord Anomalies or Injuries: Conditions affecting the spinal cord, such as spina bifida or a spinal cord injury, can lead to neurogenic bowel, resulting in fecal incontinence.
Diabetes Mellitus: Uncontrolled diabetes can cause autonomic neuropathy, affecting bowel habits and potentially leading to fecal incontinence.

Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction: A rare condition characterized by impaired intestinal motility, leading to severe constipation or fecal soiling.
Neurological Disorders (e.g., Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy): Certain neurological conditions can affect bowel control, leading to fecal soiling.
Anorectal Malformations: Though usually identified at birth, some mild forms might not be diagnosed until later, potentially causing fecal incontinence.
