Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunctions are common in patients with multiple sclerosis and for most of them urinary dysfunction has the most negative impact on their social life. No correlation exists between clinical urinary symptoms and urodynamic patterns. Abnormal urodynamic patterns may be present in asymptomatic patients. Both clinical and urodynamic findings may change during the course of the illness. Early diagnostic approach and scheduled follow-ups are mandatory in order to prevent upper urinary tract complications and improve quality of life (QoL).

D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.
