Clean intermittent catheterization in long-term management of neurogenic bladder in spinal cord injury: Patient perspective and experiences.

Objectives: Bladder dysfunction due to spinal cord injury has a significant impact on the overall health and quality of life of an individual. Clean intermittent catheterization is the gold standard for bladder management and is recommended due to having the lowest complication rate. Transitions from intermittent catheterization to other less optimal strategies, such as indwelling catheter, are quite common.

Treatment of a Chronic, Nonhealing Neuropathic Ulcer in a Pediatric Patient With Spinal Dysraphism: A Case Report.

Unlabelled: A neuropathic ulcer results from repetitive trauma to a hyposensitive distal extremity, usually on a weight-bearing bony prom-inence. In addition to neuropathy, deformities and adapted walking patterns increase the risk of these wounds in children with spinal dysraphism. Information about treatment strategies for these wounds is limited.
