Popis: A literature search in PubMed using the search terms underactive bladder, detrusor underactivity, bladder underactivity, impaired detrusor contractility, acontractile detrusor, detrusor failure, hypotonic failure, detrusor areflexia, post-void residual, and chronic retention in combination with children resulted in only ten papers directly discussing underactive bladder and detrusor underactivity with the exclusion of papers on posterior urethral valve papers that discussed detrusor underactivity in some form. With such a paucity of information on a problem that is so difficult to treat, we seem to be ignoring an important problem in pediatric urology. This chapter will review the epidemiology, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric underactive bladder.
