  • Title: Functional abnormality of 'non-provocative' bladder instability in children.
    Author: Palmtag H, Heering H, Ziegler G.
    Journal: Urol Int; 1979; 34(3):176-83. PubMed ID: 473428.
    Abstract:
    In the last years the symptom of unstable bladder behaviour has been interpreted with increasing clinical importance, sometimes being regarded as a diagnosis or as a causative factor for different complaints (1, 3-6, 16, 18, 20). The term 'unstable bladder' is still not precisely defined (17). Few investigations on this topic had been done in children, therefore, the urodynamic findings of 216 children were analysed to look for co-findings of bladder instability and, if possible, to demonstrate some causative factors. The investigations revealed that unstable bladder behaviour seems to be a secondary cystometric phenomenon (directly or indirectly induced). The treatment of unstable bladder should be concentrated on the causative disorder rather than on the cystometric symptom
