Abstract

Bladder dysfunction is a common complaint in elderly people with multifactorial origin. It is also frequent in Parkinson’s disease (PD) [1, 2], and is an important cause of impairment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) leading to considerable disability and handicap. Urinary dysfunction in PD manifests primarily with symptoms of overactive bladde (OAB)—i.e. increased frequency and urgency of micturition or urge incontinence—and correlates well with urodynamic findings of involuntary detrusor contractions at early stages of bladder filling (detrusor hyperflexia) [3, 4]. Bladder dysfunctions occur also in atypical parkinsonism and particularly as an early manifestation of multiple system atrophy (MSA) in which urinary retention is more common [5].
