title: Nonsurgical management of the neurogenic bladder in children.
abstract: The neurogenic bladder can have many serious consequences. However, with proper understanding of the disease spectrum, and with proper awareness of the surveillance and management tools, adverse outcomes can be minimized. The incidence of renal failure is uncommon. With proper medical therapy, one can achieve continence and minimize the risk of symptomatic urinary tract infections. There are a number of nonsurgical strategies described that can help in the management of the neurogenic bladder.
