Abstract
Bladder function has been studied in a group of patients submitted to open and percutaneous high cervical cordotomy. It is concluded that the vesicomotor pathway lies within 3 mm of the cord surface in the region of the dentate ligament. Vesicosensory pathways probably lie in the posterior columns. The investigation supports the thesis that visceral frtnctions such as respiration and micturition are associated with appropriate somatic innervation.Keywords
