"Neurogenic bladder is a term applied to a dysfunctional urinary bladder that results from any lack of coordination between the central nervous system and the somatic nervous system 1, including injuries to the central or peripheral nerves that control and regulate urination. Injury to the brain, brainstem, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves from various causes such as infection, trauma, malignancy, or vascular insult can also lead to dysfunctional bladder 2."
"Depending on the level of the injury in the nervous system, patients typically present with increased frequency, nocturia, urinary incontinence/urgency, urinary tract infection, and urinary retention. The bladder may be hyperreflexic, hyporeflexic or areflexic with impaired to no sensation 2."
