title: Urinary continence in children with neurogenic bladders.
abstract: Seventy-three children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction were assessed for urinary continence over periods ranging from 6 months to 4 years. Acceptable continence was achieved in 35 (48%), the majority by means of intermittent clean catheterisation, usually with drug manipulation. Two children had tobe diverted purely for intractable incontinence. A plan of management for children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction is described.
