Abstract
Vesical and urethral function are closely controlled by neural activity, both reflex and volitional. Relatively subtle abnormalities have serious consequences. Understanding of the natural history of neurogenic vesical dysfunction has improved over the past few years and is summarized in this review article.Keywords
