Summary

Neurogenic bladder dysfunction can severely harm kidneys if untreated. Radiologists can identify signs of this condition in the lower urinary tract, aiding early diagnosis and management of voiding dysfunction.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Radiology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Neurogenic bladder dysfunction can cause irreversible kidney damage.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preserving renal function.
  • Understanding radiographic findings is key for radiologists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathophysiology and radiographic findings of neurogenic bladder.
  • To highlight the importance of recognizing neurogenic bladder in patients with suprasacral cord lesions.
  • To inform radiologists about detecting lower urinary tract changes indicative of neurogenic dysfunction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of neurogenic bladder pathophysiology.
  • Analysis of radiographic findings in neurogenic bladder.
  • Discussion of diagnostic modalities, including video urodynamics.

Main Results:

  • Neurogenic bladder presents with two main types: detrusor hyperreflexia and areflexia.
  • Radiographic changes in the lower urinary tract can suggest neurogenic bladder.
  • Autonomic dysreflexia is a critical consideration in patients with suprasacral cord lesions.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologists play a vital role in identifying neurogenic bladder through imaging.
  • Awareness of neurogenic bladder's impact on renal function is essential.
  • While video urodynamics is advanced, basic radiographic interpretation aids diagnosis.
