Measurement of Intravesical and Rectal Pressures Simultaneously with Electromyography of Anal Sphincter in Children with Myelomeningocele

Abstract: SUMMARY This paper reports a technique for simultaneous measurement of intravesical pressure, intra‐abdominal pressure, electromyographic activity of the external anal sphincter and urinary flow. Using this technique during filling of the bladder and during micturition in 38 children with myelomeningocele and neurogenic bladder disturbance, it was possible to identify four main types of bladder dysfunction in these children. Once the type of bladder dysfunction is established for each child, adequate managemen… Show more

“…Isolated sacral agenesis is a rare congenital malformation in which the sacral roots are missing (7,8,11). This malformation provides an opportunity to study the regulation of anorectal function in patients in whom there is an absence of sacral innervation, without previous trauma, anesthesia, or surgical intervention (2,12–16). We found that these children have abnormalities in anorectal function.…”
