Abstract
Patients with cerebral palsy often have changes to their urinary tract function. This can lead to significant morbidity over a lifetime. The etiology of urinary tract dysfunction is multifactorial and complex. Understanding and managing urinary tract symptoms can have a huge impact on health and quality of life for patients and caregivers.
