  • Title: [Urodynamic diagnosis and treatment in neurogenic bladder dysfunction].
    Author: López Pereira P, Eire P, Martínez Urrutia MJ, Moreno JA, Jaureguizar E.

    Abstract:
    A group of 55 patients (28M,27F) with neurogenic bladder dysfunction was studied. Patient age ranged from 1m. to 20 years (mean age 9.1 years). Most of the patients had neurogenic bladder secondary myelomeningocele (70%). The urodynamic investigations demonstrated detrusor hyperreflexia in 50 (poor compliance in 28p) detrusor arreflexia in 3 and normal bladder in 2. Six patients hadn't incontinence and didn't need treatment. The rest (49p), couldn't be dry more than 2 hours. After treatment (anticholinergic, alpha adrenergic agonist, alpha-betha adrenergic agonist, I. C. and bladder augmentation), the continence was improved satisfactorily in 38 patients (77.5%). In conclusión, we think that early treatment from neonatal period, supported with urodynamic studies may prevent lon-term renal damage and most patients with neurogenic bladder do not require surgical intervention to improve continence because it can be controlled satisfactorily by other means.
