pubmed:abstractText
Urodynamic findings and peripheral neurology were correlated in 62 patients with myelomeningocele. The primary motor and sensory levels bore no relation to bladder dysfunction. The ano-cutaneous reflex was a useful predictor, in that where the reflex was positive there was likely to be detrusor hyper-reflexia, a competent bladder neck and absence of sphincter weakness leakage. Where the reflex was absent, detrusor hyper-reflexia was absent or mild, the bladder neck usually incompetent and sphincter weakness leakage common. (Detrusor compliance could not be predicted from peripheral neurological findings). We consider the ano-cutaneous reflex to be a useful indication of bladder dysfunction and urodynamic studies are often unnecessary when it is positive.
