Neurogenic bladder diagnosis, management, and follow-up: An update from the 2016 SIU-ICUD Meeting.

Adam Klein, Teresa L Danforth

Abstract


Neurogenic bladder (NGB) is a congenital or acquired condition in which bladder function and behavior changes as a result of neurologic dysfunction.  Presentation, symptoms and natural history are variable, often resulting in a wide range of management and follow-up protocols.  There are no formal guidelines established for management and follow-up of NGB patients to date.  The Societe Internationale d’Urologie-International Consultation on Urologic Diseases (SIU-ICUD) has recently met to establish guidelines for these patients with a particular focus on follow-up and management of urologic complications.  The purpose of this paper is to review pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment and surveillance in this particularly challenging subset of patients.
