Micturition disturbance in Parkinson's disease. 1985

H Fitzmaurice, and C J Fowler, and D Rickards, and R S Kirby, and N P Quinn, and C D Marsden, and E J Milroy, and R T Turner-Warwick

Ten men with longstanding idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) were investigated by urodynamic and electromyographic methods. The urodynamic studies were repeated after stopping anti-Parkinsonian medication for several hours. All patients showed a difference between the two studies, but the changes were unpredictable. Three patients who had high residual urine volumes in both studies were thought to have prostatic obstruction. EMG analysis showed no evidence of a lower motor neurone lesion affecting the striated urethral sphincter. It was concluded that micturition difficulty in the patient with IPD is due to detrusor hyperreflexia, influenced by the basal ganglia, which is not associated with impaired striated urethral sphincter activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007980 Levodopa The naturally occurring form of DIHYDROXYPHENYLALANINE and the immediate precursor of DOPAMINE. Unlike dopamine itself, it can be taken orally and crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is rapidly taken up by dopaminergic neurons and converted to DOPAMINE. It is used for the treatment of PARKINSONIAN DISORDERS and is usually given with agents that inhibit its conversion to dopamine outside of the central nervous system.

D010300 Parkinson Disease A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.
