    Spinal dysraphism diagnosis and management can be achieved noninvasively. Spinal computed tomography and urodynamic testing aid in precise diagnosis and appropriate therapy for bladder dysfunction.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Urology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Spinal dysraphism presents complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Accurate assessment of urinary tract function is crucial for patient management.

    Observation:

    • Twelve patients with spinal dysraphism were evaluated.
    • Eight patients received precise diagnosis and therapy using physical findings, plain X-rays, and unenhanced spinal computed tomography (CT).
    • Intravenous pyelography revealed renal deterioration in two patients; ten had normal upper urinary tracts.

    Findings:

    • Urodynamic assessment in seven patients identified three normal and four abnormal studies.
    • Abnormal urodynamics included "flaccid type" bladder and detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia.
    • Unenhanced spinal CT and urodynamic testing proved effective for diagnosis and management.

    Implications:

    • Noninvasive imaging and functional testing are valuable for spinal dysraphism management.
    • Early diagnosis and tailored therapy improve bladder emptying and continence.
    • These methods facilitate effective follow-up and treatment strategies for spinal dysraphism.
