Abstract
The e2 components of detrusor compliance were analyzed in 32 children with myelomeningocele and compared to compliance in 15 age-matched controls with nonneuropathic enuresis. In myelomeningocele initial compliance was variable, whereas terminal compliance was relatively constant. Low terminal compliance corresponded with vesicoureteral reflux, deterioration of upper tract morphology and diminished renal function.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
