We reviewed 550 consecutive patients who underwent synchronous video/flow/pressure/electromyography studies to identify whether neurologic factors are involved in the pathogenesis of an abnormally open bladder neck. A total of 33 patients who had not undergone prior bladder neck surgery had an open bladder neck at rest. The prevalence of neurologic lesions in patients with an open bladder neck was significantly greater than in those with a normal bladder neck. However, there was no correlation between any specific lesion and the incidence of an open bladder neck. Patients with myelodysplasia had an inordinately high incidence of open bladder neck. We conclude that abnormalities of bladder neck innervation may result in a pathologically open bladder neck. © 1983 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byRODIC B, CURT A, DIETZ V and SCHURCH B (2018) BLADDER NECK INCOMPETENCE IN PATIENTS WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY: SIGNIFICANCE OF SYMPATHETIC SKIN RESPONSEJournal of Urology, VOL. 163, NO. 4, (1223-1227), Online publication date: 1-Apr-2000.ENGLISH S, AMUNDSEN C and McGUIRE E (2018) BLADDER NECK COMPETENCY AT REST IN WOMEN WITH INCONTINENCEJournal of Urology, VOL. 161, NO. 2, (578-580), Online publication date: 1-Feb-1999.BARBALIAS G, NIKIFORIDIS G and LIATSIKOS E (2018) alpha-BLOCKERS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC PROSTATITIS IN COMBINATION WITH ANTIBIOTICSJournal of Urology, VOL. 159, NO. 3, (883-887), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1998.Haab F, Zimmern P and Leach G (2018) Female Stress Urinary Incontinence Due to Intrinsic Sphincteric Deficiency: Recognition and ManagementJournal of Urology, VOL. 156, NO. 1, (3-17), Online publication date: 1-Jul-1996.Blaivas J and Heritz D (2018) Vaginal Flap Reconstruction of the Urethra and Vesical Neck in Women: A Report of 49 CasesJournal of Urology, VOL. 155, NO. 3, (1014-1017), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1996.Light J, Beric A and Petronic I (2018) Detrusor Function with Lesions of the Cauda Equina, with Special Emphasis on the Bladder NeckJournal of Urology, VOL. 149, NO. 3, (539-542), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1993.Beric A and Light J (2018) Detrusor Function with Lesions of the Conus MedullarisJournal of Urology, VOL. 148, NO. 1, (104-106), Online publication date: 1-Jul-1992.Kaplan S, Chancellor M and Blaivas J (2018) Bladder and Sphincter Behavior in Patients With Spinal Cord LesionsJournal of Urology, VOL. 146, NO. 1, (113-117), Online publication date: 1-Jul-1991.Blaivas J and Olsson C (2018) Stress Incontinence: Classification and Surgical ApproachJournal of Urology, VOL. 139, NO. 4, (727-731), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1988.Salinas J, Berger Y, De La Rocha R and Blaivas J (2018) Urological Evaluation in the Shy Drager SyndromeJournal of Urology, VOL. 135, NO. 4, (741-743), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1986.Yalla S and Andriole G (2018) Vesicourethral Dysfunction Following Pelvic Visceral Ablative SurgeryJournal of Urology, VOL. 132, NO. 3, (503-509), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1984.
