Although exceptions exist, clinical and urodynamic findings can be predicted on the basis of the location of the neurologic lesions. Conversely, these findings can be used to predict the location of the lesion. Recognition of similar patterns allows for classification, and classification allows the physician more readily to devise a diagnostic and therapeutic plan. Furthermore, a simple and practical classification system facilitates communication between physicians.

D001750	Urinary Bladder, Neurogenic	Dysfunction of the URINARY BLADDER due to disease of the central or peripheral nervous system pathways involved in the control of URINATION. This is often associated with SPINAL CORD DISEASES, but may also be caused by BRAIN DISEASES or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES.
