Sacral neuromodulation and lower urinary tract dysfunction in cerebral palsy

Ted M Roth. Int Urogynecol J Pelvic Floor Dysfunct. 2007 May.

Abstract

Given the emerging role of sacral neuromodulation in treatment of neurogenic voiding dysfunction, the author describes the use of sacral neuromodulation in a patient with voiding dysfunction caused by cerebral palsy (CP). A 45-year-old patient with cerebral palsy presented with progressive complaints of urgency and overflow incontinence and was found to be in retention. She underwent sacral neuromodulation and had complete resolution of her symptoms. The literature of lower urinary tract dysfunction in CP is reviewed. It is concluded that sacral neuromodulation may be a valuable tool in treating storage and voiding disorders associated with CP.
