Jan23 M1-VUR, Enuresis and Bladder Dysfunction Flashcards
SS innervation to the bladder and effect
Hypogastric nerve. inhibits detrusor muscle
PSS innervation to the bladder and effect
pelvic nerve. contrats the detrusor muscle
internal sphincter: type of muscle and innervation
SM
hypogastric nerve. closes it (ANS, involuntary)
external sphincter; type of muscle and innervation
striated
pudendal nerve. closes it (voluntary control)
dev of urinary control
initially spinal reflexes (bladder distension causes bladder contraction).
then higher cortical centers start to control it too and adult pattern assumed by age 4-5
adult pattern of voiding
conscious control of detrusor contraction and external sphincter relaxation
incontinence def
leakage during the day
signs of voiding dysfunction in kids
- urgency
- frequency (increased or decreased)
- nocturia
what can be a cause of weak stream
posterior urethral valves (congenital disease)
intermittent stream: in who is it normal
kids under 3
holding maneuvers def (seen in kids)
behaviors used to postpone voiding (urgency-standing on tiptoe, crossing the legs, squatting,..)
postmicturition dribbling def
leaking (unvoluntary) after micturition
etiologies of bladder dysfct in children (3)
neurogenic, anatomic, functional
neurogenic causes of bladder dysfct in kids
myelomeingocele, trauma to CNS
anatomic causes of bladder dysfct in kids
- ureter insertion distal to the bladder neck
- bladder outlet obsruction (posterior urethral valves, polyuria from renal failure)
