Post-COVID-19 neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction in pediatrics: A case series of clinical manifestations resembling Elsberg syndrome.

Background: Among the numerous complications associated with post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) syndrome, neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) has been rarely reported, particularly in the pediatric population.

Case Presentation: This report presented three pediatric cases of NLUTD that developed following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, with clinical features resembling Elsberg syndrome. These cases were notable for the severity of their urinary symptoms, which required specialized and individualized bladder management strategies.

Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction Rehabilitation in Children with Acquired Brain Injury.

To evaluate neurogenic bladder and bowel dysfunction (NBBD) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and acquired brain injury (ABI), a condition considered less frequent in those patients than in children with spinal cord injury (SCI), and to study the relationship between NBBD and disability grade in this population. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of all patients (aged 3-18 years old) admitted during a three-month observation in our neurorehabilitation department. Data collected were as follows: demographic parameters; disability status (Wee-FIM Scale, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and the Communication Function Classification System); and gastrointestinal and urological symptoms (diaries, Bristol scale, Pad Test and International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire).
