Urodynamics of the neurogenic bladder.
نویسنده
چکیده
Many patients with neurogenic bladders require careful monitoring in order to decrease the risk of infectious and renal complications. Urodynamic testing, with particular attention paid to detrusor pressures, is helpful for risk stratification in these patients and provides key information when assessing effectiveness of treatments. This article reviews the history, indications, and contemporary parameters for urodynamic testing in the neurogenic population.

Twenty high risk children aged 5-12 years with various voiding problems were studied prospectively by urodynamics to evaluate the function of their urinary bladder and its continence mechanism. None of them had neuropathic bladder or any obstruction distal to bladder neck. Fourteen out of twenty (70%) had abnormal findings on urodynamics evaluation; 8 (40%) had non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder...

متن کاملInvestigation of the neurogenic bladder.
URODYNAMICS The term "urodynamics" encompasses any investigation of urinary tract function although it is often used colloquially as a synonym for cystometry. Cystometry, the measurement of bladder pressure, has been the main tool used to show abnormal behaviour of the neurogenic bladder. The earliest reference to a study measuring bladder pressure is commonly given as the paper by Mosso and Pe...

Spina bifida and myelodysplasia are associated with neurogenic abnormalities of the bladder and bowel function. All children with myelodysplasia require an evaluation of their urinary tract with ultrasound and urodynamics to confirm normal bladder and kidney function. Patients with anatomical and functional abnormalities require treatment, the mainstay being intermittent catheterization and ant...
