Abstract
In our institution, children with voiding disorders are submitted to a detailed evaluation comprising a careful clinical examination, laboratory tests, imaging (kidney ultrasonography and voiding cystourethrography) and urodynamic tests. Depending on the etiology of voiding dysfunction, children are subjected to a non invasive or an invasive urodynamic evaluation. Non invasive urodynamic testing comprises a free urinary flowmetry associated or not with an EMG recording of the pelvic floor. Invasive urodynamic testing consists of a pressure-flow study or a video-XR-urodynamic test. In rare instances, genitourinary electrophysiological investigations will be performed. Herein we describe these different urodynamic and electrophysiologic tests.
