title: Voiding pattern abnormalities in children.
abstract: Forty-two children with voiding pattern abnormalities (wetting, incontinence, inappropriate voiding) were evaluated by urodynamic techniques. All patients were urologically evaluated and carefully appraised of the mechanics of the urodynamic testing procedure. All patients demonstrated good cooperation in an anxiety-free atmosphere. Twenty-three abnormal bladder types were identified and characterized. Specific pharmacologic and urologic modalities were applied to achieve improved or normal micturition.
