[Urination disorders in patients with sequelae of perinatal lesions without mental handicap]
1Service de neurologie et rééducation infantile, hôpital Raymond Poincaré, Garches, France.
Abstract:
Sixty-three patients with cerebral palsy and micturition disorders were investigated. The age ranged between 5.5 and 38 years (mean 13.5). Half had diplegia: one-third had quadriplegia and were therefore dependent incontinence was the most common symptom: dysuria was noted in half of the cases, mainly in quadriplegic patients. The urodynamic assessment confirmed the dysfunction and showed hyperreflectivity with or without asynergy. However, no therapeutic approach has been validated.
