title: Simultaneous cine-urographic and manoflowmetric evaluation of the neurogenic component in incontinence.
abstract: For diagnosis of incontinence the exact analysis of the dynamics of micturition is of great importance, primarily in order to evaluate the urethral flow-resistance and detrusor activity. Extending already existing methods for the evaluation of urodynamics, we developed a complex method of cine/pressure/flow/cystourethrography. All data were recorded and simultaneously stored on videotape. Especially in cases of incontinence with a neurogenic component important information for a causative therapy was gained using this complex investigation. Thus in 20 patients with incontinence, studied for exclusion of a neurogenic component, we found two patients with a neurogenic bladder dysfunction that had been unknown prior to the examination. The neurogenic component in each case had remained unnoticed by usual routine diagnostic procedures.
