Abstract
Seventeen children with spina bifida and neurogenic bladder were treated with phenoxybenzamine, an alpha-blocking agent, and in 15 cases the treatment was successful. It is suggested that in certain types of neurogenic bladder the need for urinary diversion can be avoided by treatment with phenoxybenzamine; only if this treatment fails does urinary diversion become necessary.Keywords
