ABSTRACT

Neurologic disorders and diseases can impact all parts of the lower urinary tract system, resulting in a spectrum of different clinical scenarios and dysfunctions. This chapter presents both neuroanatomical classification and various formal classification systems of lower urinary tract dysfunction as a review of the potential schema that are used in clinical practice. The suprapontine anatomy is responsible for providing inhibitory signals to the pontine micturition center, which normally controls the regulation of micturition. The International Continence Society has developed a classification system that builds on the urodynamic and the functional systems. The Bors–Comarr classification system is best applied to spinal cord-injured patients with complete neurologic injuries after the phase of spinal shock has passed.
