title: Successful treatment of overactive bladder in a child with myasthenia gravis.
abstract: Detrusor overactivity in patients with congenital myasthenia gravis is a rare finding. Owing to the underlying disease, anticholinergic treatment is not possible. We present the case of a 6-year-old child in whom a significant improvement was achieved by means of functional electrical stimulation.
