Extractions: 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: In many cases, neurogenic bladder is associated with the following:

neurogenic bladder Wright, Kathleen Dredge. An overactive neurogenic bladder ischaracterized by uncontrolled, frequent expulsion of urine from the bladder.

Extractions: 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 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.

In a neurogenic bladder , the nerves that are supposed to carry these messages do not work properly. Problems often associated with a neurogenic bladder: urine leakage - this often occurs when the muscles holding urine in do not get the right message. urine retention - this often happens if the muscles holding urine in do not get the message that it is time to let go. damage to the tiny blood vessels in the kidney - this often happens if the bladder becomes too full and urine backs up into the kidneys, causing extra pressure. infection of the bladder or ureters - often resulting from urine that is held too long before being eliminated.

http://www.med.wayne.edu/urology/DISEASES/neurogenicbladder.html

Extractions: Some children are born with or develop bladders that do not function properly. These children may have a history of myelomeningocele (spina bifida), have had a traumatic spinal injury, were born with bladder exstrophy (bladder open face at the skin), or have had a congenital bladder obstruction. These patients often have urinary incontinence and may develop dilatation of their ureters and kidneys. Whether due to abnormal nerve innervation of the bladder muscle and/or urethral sphincters, or to chronic obstructive bladder damage most patients with this bladder condition are unable to empty their bladder on their own. Management of children or adolescents with neurogenic bladder conditions are individualized to each patient and their parents. Our main goals are to preserve function of the kidneys and then to obtain full urinary continence in between urinating which is most often assisted with catheterizations if catheterization is required. In those individuals in which we have fully maximized their medical management and clean intermittent catheterization skills and they remain wet or are having progressive dilatation of their ureters or kidneys, we encourage moving ahead to surgical intervention to optimize their condition. In patients who are on clean intermittent catheterization and are having difficulty passing the catheter through the urethra into the bladder or would just prefer an easier more accessible rout for catheterization we've been able to offer them the Mitrofanoff procedure. The Mitrofanoff is a catheterizable non-leaking dime size stoma which we conceal by placing it in the base of the umbilicus (belly button). The appendix is used to communicate the bladder to the umbilicus and is fashioned so to accept an 8-14 french catheter for emptying the bladder and not allow urinary leakage. The patient simply lifts his/her T-shirt places the catheter into the concealed opening in the umbilicus and then empties the bladder. For children or adolescents who are confined to a wheelchair and/or this would allow for their catheterizations independent of others' assistance, this has been most gratifying.

Extractions: Intravesical electrostimulation for the rehabilitation of bladder dysfunction T he idea of intravesical electrostimulation (IVES) dates back to 1878 when Saxtorph treated urinary retention by inserting a special catheter transurethrally into the bladder, with a metal electrode inside and a neutral electrode placed suprapubically.No further publication appeared dealing with this technique until 1959 when Katona et al. described their technique of intraluminal electrotherapy, initially designed for the treatment of a paralytic gastrointestinal tract. Later Katona used this method extensively for the treatment of neurogenic bladder dysfunction. Subsequently it was also applied by others with controversial results. Intravesical electrotherapy is based on the principle that in incomplete central or peripheral nerve lesions-and only these patients are suitable for this method -at lest some nerve pathways between the bladder and the cerebral centres are preserved, but are too weak to be efficient under normal circumstances. According to recent experimental studies , IVES activates bladder mechanoreceptors. The afferent stimuli reach the spinal sacral cord via A-delta-fibres. the optimal detrusor reaction was found to be at 20 Hz (10-50 Hz); the optimal single pulse duration was 2 ms . This method follows some important principles of neurophysiology. Normally no movement begins without sensory reaction and no normal movement can proceed without feedback processes integrated in the control of movements

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.

Extractions: Neurogenic Bladder Neurogenic bladder results from a miscommunication between the brain and the bladder, due to faulty nerve signaling. 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. One section surgeon (RRR) has performed the largest number of laparascopic bladder augmentations in the country with outstanding success and dramatically improved quality of life scores in these complex patients.

Extractions: Two years after being diagnosed with the diabetes (i.e. ten years ago), I began to experience difficulty voiding - difficulty to start the stream, inability to completely empty my bladder, and reduced flow pressure. My doctors assumed that it was prostititis (i.e. not diabetes related), and treated me first with antibiotics, and then later with medication to relax the bladder opening and increase bladder strength. These treatments did not noticably improve my symptoms. Cystoscopy showed no obstructions, and after about 5 years of these symptoms, and with cystometrics showing that my bladder muscle contraction was very weak, I was put on intermittent cathertization - which I have continued (without problem) for 5 years. As I have absolutely no other symptoms or neurological complications, my doctors are not sure whether this has anything to do with my diabetes, or is some isolated problem. Two questions:
