  • Title: Preliminary evaluation of alpha-adrenergic blocking agents in children with neurogenic bladder due to myelomeningocele.
    Author: de Voogt HJ, van der Sluis C.
    Journal: Dev Med Child Neurol Suppl; 1976; (37):82-8. PubMed ID: 797616.
    Abstract:
    Twenty children with myelomeningocele and neurogenic bladder dysfunction were treated with alpha-adrenergic blocking agents. The results were satisfactory and are considered to justify the use of these drugs, especially for children who have weak or absent detrusor activity and urethral outflow resistance not of the dyssynergic type. There are indications that urinary diversion in such cases may be able to be postponed when alpha-adrenergic blocking agents are used more routinely.
