TY - JOUR T1 - Lower urinary tract dysfunction in cerebral palsy. JF - Archives of Disease in Childhood JO - Arch Dis Child SP - 739 LP - 742 DO - 10.1136/adc.68.6.739 VL - 68 IS - 6 AU - C J Reid AU - M Borzyskowski Y1 - 1993/06/01 UR - http://adc.bmj.com/content/68/6/739.abstract N2 - The clinical features and management of 27 children with cerebral palsy referred with symptoms of lower urinary tract dysfunction were reviewed. The mean age at referral was 9.9 years. Daytime urinary incontinence was the commonest presenting symptom. Videourodynamic studies were abnormal in 23 patients (85%). Only two children had evidence of upper renal tract damage. Treatment was determined by urodynamic findings, and led to improvement in symptoms in all patients for whom there was follow up information. Urinary incontinence may be improved or cured in children with cerebral palsy. These children would therefore benefit from early referral for assessment and treatment. ER -
