[Nerve disorders of micturition in the dog. A review of five cases].

This investigation gives an overview of the etiology and treatment of neural micturition disorders, using five clinical cases. Micturition is only feasible when there is an unimpeded collaboration between superior control mechanisms and peripheral reflex mechanisms. Due to the complex physiology of bladder innervation, the loss of individual nerve paths leads to disorders in the chronological events of urine emission. The purpose of the present work is to demonstrate the symptoms and physiopathological principles which were found to be present in specially selected and typical clinical cases. It should be borne in mind that the evaluation of the etiology of this commonly occurring paralysis is not always as clear as it was in these selected cases.
