We determined the role of colonoscopy in infants and young children. Diseases diagnosed using colonoscopy in this age group included IBD, EGIDs, and polyps/polyposis. The increasing trend of patients with IBD and EGIDs worldwide means that the role of colonoscopy in infants and younger children will be more important in the future.
