title: [Morphological findings on the terminal tract of the ureter in patients with vesico-ureteral reflux associated with neurogenic bladder].
abstract: Vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR) associated to neurogenic bladder dysfunctions is well known as pathologic entity; in particular, its radiologic and urodynamic aspects have been widely debated in recent years, even in infancy and childhood. In our study, histologic features of the vesico-ureteral junction have been investigated in a group of patients with neurogenic bladder and VUR, who underwent antireflux surgery. Structural aspects of these vesico-ureteral junctions have been then compared to refluxing junctions taken from non-neurogenic bladders and non-refluxing junctions from normal bladders.
