[Lower urinary tract dysfunction and multiple sclerosis]

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease characterized by multiple demyelinating lesions disseminated throughout the central nervous system (nerve conduction block). The management of these patients requires a perfect knowledge of the natural history of the disease. In this article, the authors review the literature to identify the most frequent voiding disorders observed in this disease and then study the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities and the optimal modalities of follow-up in these patients, in view of the risk of various urological complications.
