“…Lapides et al [49], at the University of Michigan, was one of the first to discuss "patients with covert partial involvement of the lower motor neurons who strain to void, suffer recurrent urinary tract infections, and whose condition is difficult to diagnose." Several reports followed in the medical literature using terms such as subclinical neurogenic bladder [50], isolated neurogenic dysfunction [51], occult neurological bladder [52], or occult neuropathic bladder [53,54], all implying the presence of a non-apparent lesion of the neurological system as the cause of the dysfunctional bladder. However, Hinman and Bauman proposed that such dysfunction was secondary to a "failure personality" and addressed the psychological changes observed in their patients with psychological assistance, including "hypnosis" [55,56].…”

During the last 40 years over 100 patients have been reported with a dysfunctional lower urinary tract associated with a peculiar distortion of the facial expression. This most unusual disorder was initially considered a local observation. Time, however, has proven otherwise, since patients with this syndrome have now been reported from various countries throughout the world. This association of lower urinary tract and bowel dysfunction with an abnormal facial expression was named the urofacial (Ochoa) syndrome. Genetic studies have demonstrated that this condition is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, and a potential gene has been mapped to chromosome 10q23-q24. There is also enough evidence to suggest that patients with this syndrome as well as those with subclinical neurological bladder, occult neuropathic bladder, non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder or Hinman syndrome, dysfunctional voiding, or dysfunctional elimination may be affected by the same congenital disorder of neurological origin.

“…The controversy surrounding the neurogenic versus non-neurogenic etiology of DE also favors a neurological disorder, as proposed during the early 1970s [49,50,51,52,53,54]. Blaivas [60] demonstrated that "micturition is a brain stem reflex centered in the reticular formation.…”

“…The NNNB syndrome has been described under various head ings such as: (1) occult neuropathic bladder [7]; (2) subclinical neu rogenic bladder [8]; (3) detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia [3,4,8]; (4) isolated neurogenic dysfunction [5]; (5) dysfunctional 'lazy' bladder syndrome [1,3,8]. These children are classified as normal because of inability to discover any specific neurological anomalies.…”
