The role of occult spinal malformation and upper urinary tract deterioration in children with intractable voiding dysfunction

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the presence of upper urinary tract

deterioration (UUTD) and accompanying pathologies in children

treated with the diagnosis of non-neurogenic bladder-sphincter

dysfunction (NNBSD).

Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the

medical records of 316 consecutive patients with NNBSD

who were treated. All cohort were grouped into two: Group I

(Treatment success; n=284), Group II (Treatment failure with any

form of occult spinal pathology; n=32). Thirty-four children with

treatment-failure and normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

findings were excluded. Groups were compared for pre- and posttreatment

pediatric lower urinary tract symptom score (PLUTSS),

presence of UUTD and urodynamic findings.

Results: The mean PLUTSS was significantly less in Group I

compared with Group II at pre-treatment and 3 months thereafter

the initial treatment (12.20 ± 5.90 and 5.20 ± 4.90 vs 20.3 ± 2.14

and 18 ± 3.4, respectively p<0.01). The mean cystometric capacities

and detrusor leak point pressure (DLPP) of Group II prior to initial

treatment and after 6 months of the untethering surgery were found

to be 194, 267 mL and 28, 12cm H2O, respectively (p<0.05).

Presence of UUTD was significantly correlated with DLPP >20 cm

H2O and presence of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
