[Dynamic study of miction in patients with spinal cord injuries. Comparison with cystomanometry in 50 cases]. / Etude dynamique de la miction chez les traumatisés médullaires. Comparaison avec la cystomanométrie sur 50 cas.

ABSTRACT

Video recordings during radiodynamic studies of miction (ERDM) in 50 patients with spinal cord injuries produced images markedly superior in quality to permictional films in cases of dysuria. Correlation with cystosphincterometry (CSM) findings were good for normal cases. Dynamic studies were more effective than CSM for the neck, but less reliable for the detrusor and striated muscle on the condition than an electromyogram had been performed. In patients with complete spasticity the type of miction cannot be predicted from the level of the lesion.
