ABSTRACT
Children with spina bifida often have vesico-urethral dysfunction manifesting either as upper urinary tract deterioration or voiding dysfunction, chiefly incontinence. Surgery of the back and presence of or increase in hydrocephalus may contribute to neuro-urologic worsening; secondary cord tethering and syrinx or hydromyelia may be additional factors coming into play later in life. Urodynamic assessment using simple modalities like uroflowmetry, external sphincter EMG, residual urine volume and cystometry provide data useful to classify patients according to detrusor and sphincter activity. Besides diagnosis, urodynamic studies are useful in guiding therapy of children with vesico-urethral dysfunction, and for their follow-up to detect sub-clinical deterioration. They also help to prognosticate risk of upper tract deterioration and the possible success of measures to contain incontinence. Urodynamic data in thirty one patients with spinal dysraphism who presented to us with urologic symptoms were analysed. Twenty-three children had hyper-reflexic bladders while in the other 8 the bladder was areflexic. 13 children showed upper tract dilatation. The leak point volume was significantly lower in this group of patients compared to those who did not show upper tract dilatation. Our results are comparable to earlier similar studies.
