Abstract

Urinary dysfunction is common in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and meningitis-retention syndrome (MRS), immune-mediated central nervous system disorders particularly affecting the spinal cord. Spinal cord lesion typically leads to motor, sensory, and bladder autonomic dysfunction, and urodynamic study may reveal DHIC (detrusor hyper [over]-activity [overactive bladder with/without incontinence] during bladder filling, while impaired contractility or detrusor underactivity [large post-void residuals/urinary retention] during voiding) with DSD (detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia). Because of this, we should care for both overactive bladder and post-void residuals, e.g., the former antimuscarinics, etc., and the latter clean, intermittent self-catheterization. In MS, consensus guideline is also available. These management may allow maximizing the quality of life in the patients.
