Urodynamic Study in Multiple System Atrophy: A Retrospective Observational Study.

ABSTRACT

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of neurogenic bladder in patients with multiple systemic atrophy and distinguish between cerebellar and parkinsonian-type urodynamic patterns. We reviewed 19 patients diagnosed with multiple systemic atrophy with low urinary tract symptoms who underwent an urodynamic study at Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital between March 2010 and February 2022. This study did not account for the differences observed between the multiple system atrophy subtypes in the voiding phase. Urodynamic study is an effective tool to understand the complicated bladder pattern in patients with multiple system atrophy.
