Abstract:
Of the common urinary dysfunctions in children, pediatric neurogenic bladder (PNB) is the most challengeable abnormality. It is well known that PNB is mostly caused by dysplasia of the lumbosacral spinal cord and nerves, which seriously affects the quality of life and the physical and mental health of children. The clinical symptoms are not obvious in minor cases, but severe upper urinary tract damage occurs in severe cases. Urodynamic study (UDS) is the best way to detect and determine the type of dysfunction at an early stage, and can guide the formulation of accurate and individualized treatment protocol. However, UDS in children has not been popularized in China, which seriously affects the level of diagnosis and treatment of PNB. This article reviews the importance of UDS so as to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of PNB.
