Abstract

Distorted micturition is a frequent presenting sign in childhood that draws attention of the parents especially in all kinds of wetting. In reality, the appearance of distorted micturition is many and diverse; it may be classified diagrammatically into five categories:
  1. 1.

    Acute or chronic urinary retention

     
  2. 2.

    Continuous leaking (as urine flow or dribbling) or intermittent uncontrolled micturition – incontinence or overflow incontinence

     
  3. 3.

    Abnormal course of micturition (see lower obstructive uropathies)

     
  4. 4.

    Abnormal direction of micturition: Deflection, doubling of, or fan-like urinary stream, ballooning of the urethra or prepuce, and exit of urine at abnormal sites

     
  5. 5.

    Symptomatology of dysfunctional voiding: Daytime wetting or urinary tract infection, and more specifically, delayed bladder maturation with pollakiuria due to a small bladder volume or absent control, frequent urge and hold maneuvers, prolonged micturitions in portions, etc.
