Neurogenic detrusor overactivity is a common urodynamic finding in patients with supra-sacral spinal cord injury. Early evaluation, stepped management, and close follow-up reduce the risk of upper urinary tract deteri...
Background: Neurological detrusor overactivity (NDO) is commonly associated with various neurogenic diseases. Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) has been proposed as alternatives to traditional treatments. Objective: To summar...
