Urinary continence after stroke: association with cystometric profile and computerised tomography findings.
Repeated cystometry was performed in 17 patients after a cerebrovascular accident. Cranial computerised tomography (CT) was performed in all patients. In this series, urinary continence showed a significant correlation both with cystometric bladder tone and with the CT brain findings. The most favourable prognostic factors for urinary continence were a non-hypertonic bladder and absence of extensive brain lesions.
