title: [Miction disorders symptomatic of neurologic disease].
abstract: Urodynamic test has a main role in: 1) making a precise diagnosis in presence of urinary symptoms not clearly interpretable by other means; 2) assessing the characteristics of neurogenic bladder for a correct treatment; 3) detecting an underlying, previously not diagnosed neurologic disease in patients with voiding abnormalities. This report concerns 10 patients with urinary symptoms in whom the urodynamic tests allowed to suspect a neurogenic problem. Seven pts. showed an areflexic bladder with positive betanechol supersensitive test, 3 pts. had detrusor hyperreflexia, while in 2 cases there was a low compliant bladder. All the patients with detrusor hyperreflexia had also detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, while 5 out of 7 pts. with detrusor areflexia showed a denervated perineal floor. The final neurologic diagnoses were 4 protruded discs, 2 multiple scleroses, 1 cerebral tumor, 2 spinal tumors, 1 cervical spondylosis.
