Neurogenic non-neurogenic bladder in childhood: complications and prognostic factors.

BACKGROUND

Neurogenic non-neurogenic bladder is a common problem in clinical practice. Untreated, complications can be serious.

AIM: Identify complications of neurogenic non-neurogenic bladder and determine the predictive factors of their occurrence.

METHODS

Prospective, cross-sectional and analytical study (September 2016-September 2017) on a series of cases of children carrying VNNN, followed in the nephrology pediatric department of Charles Nicolle Hospital in Tunis.

RESULTS

Twenty-four patients were included in the study. The predictive criteria for neurogenic non-neurogenic bladder complications that we were able to highlight were: female sex, phasic detrusor bladder overactivity, bladder hypocompliance, and midstream hypercontractility.

CONCLUSION

Neurogenic non-neurogenic bladder is a common pathology in pediatrics, it is important to diagnose and manage appropriately and early to avoid its complications.
