This coordinated activity is regulated by the central and peripheral nervous systems. Neurogenic bladder is a term applied to a malfunctioning urinary bladder due to neurologic dysfunction or insult emanating from internal or external trauma, disease, or injury. Symptoms of neurogenic bladder range from detrusor underactivity to overactivity, depending on the site of neurologic insult. The urinary sphincter also may be affected, resulting in sphincter underactivity or overactivity and loss of coordination with bladder function. The appropriate therapy and a successful outcome are predicated upon accurate diagnosis through a careful medical and voiding history together with a variety of clinical examinations, including urodynamics and selective radiographic imaging studies Please click here to view the full topic text: Neurogenic Bladder

Hospital Directory Neurogenic Bladder more about Neurogenic Bladder The bladder is a balloon like muscular sac where urine is stored. When this sac becomes full, it is excreted. A pathway of nerves from the bladder carry messages to the brain letting it know weather the bladder is full or empty. The brain, then using another set of nerves, sends messages to the muscles of the bladder telling them to relax and allow the bladder to empty. Once empty, the brain signals the bladder muscles to tighten in order to store urine again. Any interference in this mechanism leads to a condition known as Neurogenic Bladder . There are two categories of Neurogenic Bladder problems: 1) overactive (hyper-reflexive or

Index Neurogenic Bladder What is a neurogenic bladder? A neurogenic bladder is a loss of normal control of bladder function caused by damaged nerves. There are 2 kinds of neurogenic bladder problems: overactive and underactive. If you have an overactive bladder, you are not able to control when or how much you urinate. If you have an underactive bladder, it holds much more urine than normal. Because you cannot feel when the bladder is full, you leak small amounts of urine as bladder pressure builds. How does it occur?

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Neurogenic bladder Definition Neurogenic bladder is a dysfunction that results from interference with the normal nerve pathways associated with urination. Description Normal bladder function is dependent on the nerves that sense the fullness of the bladder (sensory nerves) and on those that trigger the muscle movements that either empty it or retain urine (motor nerves). The reflex to urinate is triggered when the bladder fills to 300-500 ml. The bladder is then emptied when the contraction of the bladder wall muscles forces urine out through the urethra. The bladder, internal sphincters, and external sphincters may all be affected by nerve disorders that create abnormalities in bladder function. There are two categories of neurogenic bladder dysfunction: overactive (spastic or hyper-reflexive) and underactive (flaccid or hypotonic). An overactive neurogenic bladder is characterized by uncontrolled, frequent expulsion of urine from the bladder. There is reduced bladder capacity and incomplete emptying of urine. An underactive neurogenic bladder has a capacity that is extremely large (up to 2000 ml). Due to a loss of the sensation of bladder filling, the bladder does not contract forcefully, and small amounts of urine dribble from the urethra as the bladder pressure reaches a breakthrough point. There are numerous causes for neurogenic bladder dysfunction and symptoms vary depending on the cause. An overactive bladder is caused by interruptions in the nerve pathways to the bladder occurring above the sacrum (five fused spinal vertebrae located just above the tailbone or coccyx). This nerve damage results in a loss of sensation and motor control and is often seen in

Conditions which can cause neurogenic bladder include cerebrovascular disease multiple sclerosis Parkinsons disease , motorneuron disease, spinal cord injury, spina bifida , diabetes, pelvic surgery or intervertebral disc herniation. Sometimes no cause is found, and such idiopathic cases may be attributed to anxiety, ageing, or poor voiding habits that develop in childhood. Modern complete assessment of neurogenic bladder includes urodynamic and electrophysiological evaluation. A variety of detailed classifications has been developed to describe neurogenic bladder. However, from the imaging viewpoint, there are essentially two types: spastic bladder and atonic bladder. Spastic bladder typically results from neural damage above the conus medullaris (T12). The bladder functions at the segmental level, without the input of higher centres. Typically, urination is involuntary, frequent and triggered by spasms in the lower limbs. A true sensation of fullness is lacking. At urography or cystography, the bladder is small and trabeculated with an elongated configuration (

Other characters Non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder, also called Hinman's syndrome, characterized by clinical and urodynamic evidence of involuntary bladder outlet obstruction at the level of the external sphincter, in the absence of a definable structural or neurological cause. The bladder becomes large and trabeculated, in response to repeated contraction against a closed sphincter. Children present with incontinence, infrequent difficult voiding, faecal soiling and constipation. Urinary tract infections may also occur. Some believe the condition is psychogenic in origin, because excessive punishment for bedwetting results in a vicious cycle of sphincter tightness, poor bladder emptying and further enuresis. Defaecation is similarly affected, with resulting constipation, faecal soiling and encopresis. Radiological findings include hydroureteronephrosis , renal scarring, vesicoureteric reflux , large volume trabeculated bladder, conical dilatation of the posterior urethra, and persistent or intermittent narrowing in the region of the external sphincter ( Fig.1

The bladder, located in the pelvis, is a hollow, muscular, balloon shaped organ that stores urine. The kidneys make urine when they filter the blood. Urine flows from the kidneys through a pair of thin tubes, the ureters, to the bladder, where it is stored until a person urinates. During urination, muscles in the wall of the bladder contract, forcing urine out of the bladder and into a tube called the urethra. At the same time, the sphincter muscles that surround the urethra relax. Nerves carry messages from the bladder to the brain, telling the brain that the bladder is full. Then the brain sends messages back to the muscles of the bladder, telling them either to tighten or release. For the urinary system to work right, these muscles and nerves must work together to hold urine in the bladder and then release it at the right time.

Urology Urologists Neurogenic Bladder What is a neurogenic bladder? Neurogenic bladder may also be called neuropathic bladder. The muscles and nerves of the urinary system work together to hold urine in the bladder and then release it at the appropriate time. Nerves carry messages from the bladder to the brain and from the brain to the muscles of the bladder telling them either to tighten or release. In a neurogenic bladder, the nerves that are supposed to carry these messages do not work properly, essentially paralyzing the bladder. What causes neurogenic bladder? In children a neurogenic bladder may be secondary to a birth defect or it may be acquired as the result of a different problem. The following are some of the most common causes of neurogenic bladder: spina bifida - a defect that occurs during early fetal development. The defect consists of incomplete bony closure of the spinal cord through which the spinal cord may or may not protrude. spinal cord trauma central nervous system tumors In many cases, neurogenic bladder is associated with the following:

This may be caused by congenital defects, diseases of the nervous system (such as MS), or trauma to the brain or spinal cord. The Clinic specializes in the treatment of neurogenic bladder, using clean intermittent catheterization, insertion of artificial sphincters, and/or surgery to re-route urine from the bladder in order to manage these highly complex cases.
