title: [Diagnosis of neurogenic bladder dysfunction].
abstract: Patients with congenital and acquired neurogenic bladder dysfunction due to central and peripheral nervous lesions are significantly limited in their daily lives. The neurogenic dysfunction of the bladder and lower urinary tract are often misinterpreted and later fed to a diagnosis. Without therapy severe complications, including renal damage, could be the consequence in the follow up. Therefore, dedicated diagnostics have to be done to recognize the different disorders and to determine the specific therapy. For these patients a lifelong bladder monitoring and neuro-urological management is necessary. This article describes techniques of neuro-urological testings and the interpretation in case of neurogenic disorders.
