Urodynamic Abnormalities in Neurologically Normal Children with Micturition Dysfunction

Abstract
Children (60) 4-16 yr old who had presented with various combinations of urinary frequency, diurnal incontinence, enuresis, voiding symptoms, recurrent urinary infections and upper tract changes were evaluated by video urodynamics. A number of seemingly distinct categories of detrusor dysfunction could be identified, which may have a bearing on logical treatment selection. Abnormalities of sphincter activity were noted in 12 children. The limitations and interpretation difficulties of urodynamic studies in children are stressed.
