title: [Vesicosphincteric and sexual disorders associated with spina bifida and myelomeningocele].
abstract: Neurogenic bladder secondary to spina bifida can have a very variable clinical presentation, but all forms share a common feature: a high risk of deterioration of the patient's quality of life and their life expectancy due to damage to the upper urinary tract. In this article, the authors present the epidemiological characteristics of this disease, its main clinical and urodynamic signs and discuss the prognosis of the disease, with particular emphasis on the value of close surveillance of these high-risk patients.
