Popis: Cinecystourethrographic studies of 39 patients with traumatic spinal cord lesions demonstrated the following: (a) 20 patients with upper motor neuron lesions voided with concentric bladder contraction essentially without descent of the vesical neck; and (b) 19 patients with lower motor neuron lesions voided by abdominal strain resulting in a "piston" effect associated with a descent of the vesical neck.Calculation of the flow rate showed that it was greater with lower than with upper motor neuron lesions.Incidental findings were prostatograms and reflux.
