ABSTRACT
Twenty high risk children aged 5-12 years with various voiding problems were studied prospectively by urodynamics to evaluate the function of their urinary bladder and its continence mechanism. None of them had neuropathic bladder or any obstruction distal to bladder neck. Fourteen out of twenty (70%) had abnormal findings on urodynamics evaluation; 8 (40%) had non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder (NNNB); 3 (15%) had small capacity hypertonic bladder (SCHB); 2 (10%) had atonic bladder (AB) and 1 (5%) had hyperreflexic bladder (HB). We conclude that urodynamic abnormalities are as frequent in high risk Indian children as they are in developed countries. The high risk children should be subjected to urodynamic studies more frequently than being done hitherto and be directed to proper therapeutic modality.
