Neurogenic dysfunction of the urinary bladder in Parkinson's disease
Abstract:
Involvement of the urinary bladder in Parkinson's disease was recognized in the 1950's, when the accidental discovery of a neurosurgical means of treating the disease brought more attention to it, with increasing research and study. In more recent years, the advent of more specific medical treatment has led to closer examination of the disease, and has enlarged our awareness of its complications. This has been paralleled by progress in the field of urology, with more precise methods of measuring dysfunction of the urinary bladder.
