Techniques and results of urodynamic evaluation of children.
Simultaneous recording of intravesical pressure, urine flow rate and anal sphincter electromyography was undertaken in 25 children with a variety of urological problems. Urethral pressure profile measurement was obtained in 3 of these patients and was used as an adjunct to cystometry alone in 5 others. The diagnostic patterns that emerged were useful in selecting specific pharmacologic and surgical therapeutic measures.
