title: [Electromyographic examinations of the musculus sphincter urethrae in children with meningomyelocele].
abstract: Thirty children with neurogenic voiding attendant upon myelomeningoceles were examined, and for twenty-three children the electromyographic findings were compared with urodynamic measuring results. The authors conclude that an increase in subvesical resistance is due not to an increase of tonicity of somatic sphincter muscles but to a predominance of sympathetic over parasympathetic innervation.
