Popis: Objective To analyze the effect of OnabotulinumtoxinA detrusor injections on postsynaptic muscular receptors in children and adolescents with neurogenic detrusor overactivity. Materials and Methods A bladder augmentation became necessary in 10 children and adolescents (7 males, 3 females; median age, 12 years) who had neurogenic detrusor overactivity. Seven had previously received 1 to 8 (average 3.86) OnabotulinumtoxinA detrusor injections, but their detrusor pressure could not be maintained at tolerable levels because of low-compliance bladder. The last injection session had been completed an average of 3 months (range, 1.5-3.5 months) previously. Three patients had never received that therapy and were considered controls. On the bladder dome resections, a specific receptor analysis (muscarinic M2 and M3 and purinergic P2X1, P2X2, and P2X3) was performed with confocal immunofluorescence, and nerve fiber density was analyzed with light-microscopic 3,3′-diaminobenzidine–immunohistochemical staining. Results Receptor analysis showed a downregulation of all examined receptors after OnabotulinumtoxinA injections; the reductions in M2, M3, P2X2, and P2X3 receptors reached a significance level of P
