ABSTRACT
The neurogenic bladder represents a vesical dysfunction secondary to a congenital or acquired neurologic lesion, spinal dysraphism being the most common cause in pediatric age. According to the lesion level and severity, neurogenic bladder can be hypertonic hyperreflexic, hypotonic hyporeflexic or of mixed type characterized by different clinical and urodynamic patterns and the potential cause of nephrourologic complications. These types of neurogenic bladder require diversified treatments as anticholinergic drugs, clean intermittent catheterization and antibiotic prophylaxis, separately or in various combinations. Close follow-up of children is necessary to control and prevent the onset of complications with changes in medical therapy or surgical treatment if required.
