Abstract:
Neurogenic bladder is a common feature in many neurological disorders such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, paraplegia, Parkinson disease, peripheral neuropathy. Specific treatment is always necessary to improve quality of life and decrease renal potential risk. Urodynamic investigations (cystometry, pelvic floor electromyography) are very useful to determine physiopathologic mechanisms of bladder dysfunction.

The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating urine...
Disorders of the Urinary System
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common urinary system disorders. They are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and can spread to the bladder resulting in cystitis. Pyelonephritis is the result of a UTI that has ascended to the level of the...
