title: Familial juvenile type III spinal cord arteriovenous malformation: urodynamic findings.
abstract: Two sisters with juvenile type III spinal cord arteriovenous malformations were studied urodynamically. Micturitional dysfunction was prominent in the clinical presentation of both cases. Although both patients had similar lesions 1 demonstrated detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia and detrusor hyperreflexia, while the other showed only detrusor hyperreflexia. This is the first report of a familial occurrence of juvenile type III arteriovenous malformation and of the associated urodynamic findings.
