title: [Micturitional disorders in multiple sclerosis (author's transl)].
abstract: Micturitional disorders in multiple sclerosis have often an insidious onset; they aggravate during acute attacks of the nervous disease and are strongly influenced by the general condition of the patient, the evolution of his muscular spasms and the therapeutical measures. This changing behaviour of the bladder makes it necessary to perform repeated cystometries, uroflowmetries and electromyographies of the striated sphincter in order to adapt vesical therapy to the evolutive stadia of the disease. Although good results are frequently obtained by drugs (sympathicomimetics, sympathicolytics, muscle relaxants, parasympathicomimetics, parasympathicolytics), by transurethral resections of internal and/or external sphincters and by phenolisation, we feel that urinary derivations remain indicated for some patients, especially in order to facilitate social integration.
