Abstract
There are three main considerations in the management of a patient with neuropathic lower urinary tract dysfunction.
-
1.
Multiple urodynamic pathology is the general rule.
-
2.
Lower urinary tract dysfunction may lead to secondary upper urinary tract problems and ultimately to renal failure.
-
3.
The lower urinary tract cannot be considered in isolation from other neurological and related problems affecting particularly the bowel, sexual function, the spine and the lower limbs.
