Urodynamic assessment in multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease

Twenty five patients with C.N.S. diseases (parkinsonism and multiple sclerosis) have been studied by means of electrocystouretromanometry and electromyography. Cases with patent urological causes of vesico-sphincteric functional impairment have not been included. In multiple sclerosis urodynamic cha...

Description
Summary:	Twenty five patients with C.N.S. diseases (parkinsonism and multiple sclerosis) have been studied by means of electrocystouretromanometry and electromyography. Cases with patent urological causes of vesico-sphincteric functional impairment have not been included. In multiple sclerosis urodynamic changes, chiefly detrusor hyper-reflexia, have been registered in 75% of cases, EMG sphincter activity disturbances in 85%. Respectively, 90% of cystomanometries and 54% of EMG sphincter activities showed changes in Parkinsonism. The precise assessment of the individual specific urodynamic change seems to allow a rationally better therapeutic perspective.
