Summary:This study evaluated the efficacy of Polyethylene glycol 4000 for fecal disimpaction in children with cerebral palsy. A randomized control trial study was conducted on children with cerebral palsy between February - March 2017 in the pediatric neurology outpatient clinic Dr. Soetomo Hospital. Children aged 2-16 years with fecal impaction randomly assigned into polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000) and saline enema group. Polyethylene glycol 4000 was given at a dosage of 0.7 g/kg and enema using normal saline 15ml/kg twelve hourly.

Data were analyzed by statistical software using an independent t-test (p
