Encyclopedia Index N Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index N 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. Causes and symptoms 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

For the urinary system to work right, the muscles and nerves must work together to hold urine in the bladder and then release it at the right time. Nerves carry messages from the bladder to the brain, letting the brain know when the bladder is full. The nerves carry messages 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. Neurogenic bladder can lead to different kinds of problems. It may result in urine leakage if the muscles holding urine in do not get the right message. For other people, a neurogenic bladder means that their muscles do not get the message that it is time to let go. If the bladder becomes too full, urine may back up into the kidneys, and the extra pressure causes damage to the tiny blood vessels in the kidney. Or urine that stays too long may lead to an infection in the bladder or ureters, which are the tubes that carry urine from the kidney to the bladder. Accidents that cause trauma to the brain or spinal cord, heavy metal poisoning, diabetes, and acute infections are among the ways nerves and nerve pathways can be damaged. Some children are born with nerve problems, which can keep a baby's bladder from releasing urine, leading to urinary infections or kidney damage.

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: s pina 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. s pinal cord trauma c entral nervous system tumors In many cases, neurogenic bladder is associated with the following:

Causes and symptoms 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 stroke, Parkinson's disease, and most forms of spinal-cord injuries. An underactive bladder is the result of interrupted bladder stimulation at the level of the sacral nerves. This may result from certain types of surgery on the spinal cord, sacral spinal tumors, or congenital defects. It also may be a complication of various diseases, such as syphilis, diabetes mellitus, or polio.

Hospitals 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 .

Intravesical Capsaicin for Treatment of Neurogenic Bladder Intravesical Capsaicin for Treatment of Neurogenic Bladder The main control center for bladder function is the brain. It enables voiding to take place at low pressure by causing the detrusor muscle in the bladder to contract and the sphincter muscle to relax. There are also nerves which extend from the sacral part of the spinal cord that activate the detrusor muscle. These sensory nerves send information from the bladder to the spinal cord telling it when the bladder is full or in pain. After a SCI the bladder is no longer controlled by the brain. The sacral nerves cause the bladder to become spastic, also known as detrusor hyperreflexia, at low volumes of urine. Since the sphincter muscle is no longer able to relax, the bladder pressure increases leading to renal failure and eventually death if left untreated. CAPSAICIN is a neurotoxin found in hot peppers. It has the ability to block sensory nerves involved in bladder spasticity. It does this by binding to receptor sites on the nerve fibres. This leads to depolarization of the nerve causing them to release neuropeptides from their terminals. Initially, the nerves are excited but the neuropeptides are quickly depleted and the nerves are desensitized.

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.
