AB OBJECTIVES: Ten patients with AIDS and voiding disorders were assessed
to determine the most common type of lower urinary tract dysfunction and
its possible usefulness in detecting neurological disease. METHODS: A
complete urodynamic evaluation was performed. RESULTS: The most common
symptom was urge incontinence and the most common urodynamic finding was
detrusor-external sphincter dyssynergia. Of the 5 patients found to have
a neurological disorder, only 3 had demonstrable functional disorder of
the lower urinary tract (2 patients had detrusor hyperreflexia: one of
them had a history of encephalopathy from HIV and the other patient had
polyneuritis; the third patient had myelitis and a urodynamically
diagnosed sympathetic decentration. CONCLUSIONS: Knowing the functional
disorders of patients with AIDS can avoid complications and improve
patient quality of life. Furthermore, it can be useful in detecting an
existing neurological lesion or one that may develop in the future.
