title: Non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder.
abstract: A case report of a 10 year old boy, presenting with a non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder is described and taken into account to discuss the most common etiologies of voiding dysfunction in children. Focus is placed on spinal dysraphism as a cause of a neurogenic bladder in opposition to non-neurogenic neurogenic bladders, to stress the differences in etiology, pathology and treatment.
