  • Title: Neurogenic bladder in children: urodynamic studies and results with medical conservative treatment.
    Author: Gutierrez Segura C, Teixidor de Otto J.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr Surg; 1991 Jun; 1(3):177-9. PubMed ID: 1892805.
    Abstract:
    We present the urodynamic findings and therapeutic results in 25 children with neurogenic bladder, ranging in age from 2 months to 14 years. We observed a significant reduction of urinary infections and vesicoureteral refluxes following medical treatment based on the urodynamic findings. Furthermore, we observed a worse evolution in patients with pre-voiding bladder pressure in excess of 50 cm H2O, incontinence being more difficult to treat in children with urethral closure pressure profile below 47 cm H2O. In our series, anticholinergic treatment improved hypertonia and hyperreflexia which disappeared in 66.6% of cases. Total continence was achieved in 37.5% and improved in 29.1% of children.
