ABSTRACT
Introduction Urodynamics in infants and children is basically the same procedure as in adults and shares the same techniques and objectives. There is, however, one fundamental difference: the patient is a child. Essentially, this means two things. First, a child harbors intuitive fear for any unknown procedure but is, at the same time, largely unresponsive to rational argumentation about the nature of and the need for the examination. Second, the child is a growing individual, increasing in weight 20-fold from infancy to puberty. This means that for children there exists no single set of ‘normal’ urodynamic variables but rather a continuum of each variable, depending on and correlating to the age and the body size of the individual.
