Abstract
Data from 60 patients with myelodysplasia are presented. Electromyography of the periurethral striated muscle in conjuction with simultaneous cystometry allows prediction of those patients at risk from urinary tract infection in 100% of the cases. Intermittent self-catheterization is an effective form of therapy for bladder dysfunction in patients with myelodysplasia. An orderly approach to the evaluation and management of bladder dysfunction is outlined.
