[The relationship between level of injury and bladder behavior in patients with post-traumatic spinal cord injury].

Background: After the spinal shock period, suprasacral injuries classically result in detrusor hyperreflexia/overactive bladder and detrusor sphincter dyssynergia. Sacral cord injuries produce detrusor areflexia consistent with lower motor neuron injury and often increased bladder compliance. However, previous investigators have noted an inexact correlation between spinal cord injury level and urodynamic findings.
