Abstract

Objective: Describe the main clinical and urodynamic findings in patients with neurogenic bladder managed with botulinum toxin.

Materials and methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in a single center with a clinical record review, urodynamic studies and images of patients with neurogenic bladder, comparing findings before and after the application of onabotulinumtoxin A.

Results: Onabotulinumtoxin A was placed on an outpatient basis in 36 patients, in pediatric patients between 3 and 15 years, a dose of 10 IU / Kg with a maximum dose of 200 IU; without reporting major postoperative complications. All patients affected neurogenic bladder secondary to spinal dysrraphism and had been given management with antimuscarinics and intermittent catheterization.

Within the clinical findings, we observed decreased leakage between catheterizations after application. In the urodynamics we observed an increase in cystometric capacity, a decrease in detrusor pressure at maximum capacity, with escape to higher volumes with statistical significance in the mentioned variables.

Conclusions: Onabotulinumtoxin A injections significantly improved not only clinical symptoms, but also urodynamic parameters in patients with neurogenic bladder secondary to spinal dysrraphism. This is a simple technique, with minimal adverse effects and is generally well tolerated.
