[Proposed functional classification of urination disorders of a neurologic nature in children].
It is absolutely necessary for all individuals engaged in the care of pediatric patients with neurogenic voiding dysfunction to have a useful means of categorizing the patient's problems. Actually the most accepted classifications are the "urodynamic" proposed by Krane and Siroky and the "functional" proposed by Wein. These Authors present two different approaches to accomplishing the same purpose: namely, directing the appropriate therapy for the patient's problems. In the authors opinion, from a diagnostic and therapeutic standpoints, a working understanding of both of these classifications seems advisable. In this paper the authors present a functional-urodynamic classification of neurologic voiding dysfunctions in pediatric age, clinically and therapeutically useful.
