Patterns of neurogenic bladder dysfunction in sacral agenesis.
Patterns of neurogenic bladder disease were defined in 13 patients with sacral agenesis. Each patient demonstrated an individualized mixture of upper and/or lower motor neuronal deficits. The paucity of clinical parameters capable of identifying and assessing bladder dysfunction in these patients mandates complete neurourological evaluation and careful followup.
