title: [Prognosis of neurological bladders].
abstract: Numerous neurological diseases may hurt the neurological command of the miction and thus provoke the dysfunctions of the bladder and/or the urinary sphincter. These dysfunctions leads to annoying symptoms (incontinence, retention or both) but can also cause grave complications (renal infections, calculations, renal insufficiency, tumor of bladder). The forecast of the neurological bladders consists to prevent the urinary complications and to improve the comfort/quality of life. The initial care must be early and multidisciplinary. The objective of a low-pressure bladder emptied regularly without permanent drainage is common to all the situations. The objective of a dry and autonomous patient for the elimination of the urine is the main goal for the optimization of the quality of life. The restoration of a sexuality, a fertility, a control of the continence and the faecal exemption are also important parameters to improve of the quality of life.
