Summary

Patients with neurogenic bladder need periodic evaluation with urodynamic study, a invasive and uncomfortable procedure. Aim: To evaluate the accuracy of dynamic ultrasonography as a feasible and noninvasive alternative diagnostic method to identify detrusor overactivity in patients with neurogenic bladder

Detailed description

The urodynamic study and dynamic ultrasonography were performed concurrently, to identify detrusor overactivity, in patients with myelomeningocele and clinical indication for urodynamics, by investigators without verbal or visual contact. The overactivity was diagnosed through active conformational change of the bladder during filling phase.

Conditions

• Neurogenic Bladder
• Myelomeningocele

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Dynamic Ultrasonography	Dynamic Ultrasonography was performed with patients in supine position, with a suprapubic sagittal position transductor, during filling phase of urodynamics.
