title: [Cerebellum and lower urinary tract].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review the role of cerebellum on the lower urinary tract dynamics.
  
  
  METHODS
  Anatomic-functional methodology including structural, functional and neurotransmitters study.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We describe the complex connections of the cerebellum and its influence on the lower urinary tract function.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is surprising the functional relationship between cerebellum and lower urinary tract, playing a inhibitory modulating role during the filling phase and facilitating the voiding phase.
