Abstract:	Background: Previously published retrospective series show a high prevalence of fecal incontinence (FI) in stroke patients.

Methods: We included consecutive patients with acute stroke admitted in our stroke unit who fulfilled the following inclusion criteria: a first episode of stroke, aged.
