Causes
 Urge incontinence
 De novo
 Latchkey
 Perimenstrual
 Giggle
 Enuresis risoria  Laughter activates micturition
reflex via intermediation of limbic system
Causes
 Ectopic ureter
 Infrasphincteric or vaginal
 Duplex system usually
 Usually detected in childhood
Causes
 Stress incontinence
 Post partum
 + Wide bladder neck anomaly
 Raised intra-abdominal pressures
 CF, constipation, heavy exercisers
Causes
 Urethrovaginal reflux
 Hydrocolpos BOO or Incontinence
Causes
 Neurological
 DM
 DSD ( myelodysplasia/MS)
 3-5% children have first MS attack before 16 yo
 Spastic paraplegia
 Tethered cord syndrome
 Complication of spinal dysraphism
 Tight filum terminale  traction neuropathy
 Due to abnormal cranial migration of conus
Causes
 UTIs
 5% of girls suffer at least one UTI
 40% associated with some underlying
urinary tract abnormality
 Associated with urge syndrome and
detrusor overactivity
Causes
 Urethral diverticulum
 Acquired usually
 Anterior vaginal wall
 Distal two thirds urethra where periurethral glands
open
 Infection of periurethral glands  formation of
retention cyst  ruptures into urethra
 No muscle in the diverticular sac
Management
 History
 Dribbling, dysuria, dyspareunia
 Urgency
 UTI
 Retention
 Provoking factors
 Marked disturbance of bowel habit
Physical examination
 Palpable bladder
 Intact hymen
 Suburethral mass
 Palpable urethral stone
 Expression of purulent material
 Hairy patch, cutaneous haemangiomata, sinuses 
Spinal dysraphism
 Sacral agenesis  flattened buttocks, absence of
sacrum
Physical Examination
 Lower limb hyper-reflexia
 Wasting of calves
 Deformity of feet
Investigations
 MSU/ Blood glucose
 Lumbar spine xr
 Renal U/S
 DMSA renogram
 Positive pressure retrograde urethrography
 MR urethra
 Cystoscopy + EUA
 Myelography
 MR brain/spinal cord
 Lumbar puncture (OCBs)
 Urodynamics
Treatment
 Anticholinergics
 Antibiotic treatment +/- suppression
 Bladder drill, biofeedback, PFEs
 Laminectomy
 Treatment of underlying cause
 MS, DM, Ectopic ureter
Treatment
 Ectopic ureter (infrasphincteric or
vaginal)
 Duplex
 Upper pole nephrectomy
 Pyelopyelostomy
 Reimplantation
 Single system ectopic ureter
Treatment
 SIC
 Bladder augmentation
 Intravesical botox
