ESPU Congress 2018 - Abstract Book

160 29 th CONGRESS OF THE ESPU RESULTS 30 patients diagnosed with ATM were identified, median age 8.9 years (0.5–16). Twelve showed LUT or bowel symptoms, either at presentation (7) or follow-up. The most common urological pres- entation was acute urinary retention(6). One also developed priapism and faecal incontinence, 3 had additional constipation and one presented with urgency. One patient had isolated constipation. Of the 6 with initial retention, two had complete resolution of their bladder symptoms, but one with pria- pism has residual erectile dysfunction. LUTs appeared during follow-up in five. The only significant ultrasonographic abnormality was post-void residual volume after trial of void (4) or during follow-up (2). Five children (5 - 17years) underwent video-urodynamics showing small cystometric capacity in 5, high leak point pressure and detrusor overactivity in three, incomplete bladder emptying in two, and poor compliance in one. Five patients were managed with CIC, 7 with anticholinergics and four with intravesical injection of Botox ® . After a median follow-up of 5 years, 7 patients have recovered normal bladder function, four have persistent LUTS, and one remains on CIC and anticholinergics. All patients with initial bowel symptoms recovered function and four developed constipation/soiling during follow-up, requiring laxatives and/or rectal enemas for management. CONCLUSIONS Persistent bowel and bladder dysfunction is common in ATM and symptoms may appear during follow-up. Renal ultrasound and urodynamic investigation are recommended to guide treatment if symptoms persist. 08:25–08:40 Discussion 08:40–08:43 S21-6 (PP) BLADDER AND BOWEL DYSFUNCTION IN CHILDREN WITH ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURY: A MISSED PROBLEM?

Scant data are available in acquired brain injury (ABI). Aim of our study is to evaluate BBD risk and incidence in ABI children. MATERIAL AND METHODS All new patients admitted from the 1 st July to the 30 th September 2017, aged 3 to 18 years old, were evaluated. Data were collected considering clinical diagnosis, ICIQ Scale, Wee-Fim Scale, Bristol scale, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and the Communication Funcion Classification System (CFCS). Statistical analysis was performed with Microsoft SPSS,p<0,001 was considered significative. RESULTS 60 new patients were admitted: 30 presented CP and 17 ABI, 3 SCI, 10 others congenital pa- thologies. About ABI patients none of them had never evaluated before by pediatric urologist. No statistical difference is present between ABI and CP.
