PURPOSE: We investigated the relationship of voiding dysfunction type and the lesion site in @entity1 with @entity15 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Voiding dysfunction was evaluated in 32 @entity1 with @entity15 using the International Prostate Symptom Score and urodynamic tests. Lesion sites were determined by combined neurological examination and magnetic resonance imaging findings. RESULTS: Compared with reports from Western countries the ratio of emptying-to-filling symptoms was high in Japan. Of urinary symptoms only filling correlated with disability status and disease duration. Urinary symptoms were not related to lesion sites. Urodynamic evaluation revealed @entity427 in 14 of 32 @entity1 , @entity427 or @entity4894 in 12, @entity427 with @entity73 in 4, a @entity1494 in 1 and normal function in 1. Of 14 @entity1 with @entity427 13 had overactive sphincter concurrently. Incompetent sphincter was identified in 2 @entity1 who had @entity427 with @entity73 and in 1 with a @entity1494 . A significant correlation was noted for a pontine lesion and @entity427 , and for a cervical @entity602 and detrusor-sphincter @entity2055 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity2182 are indicative of a pontine and cervical @entity602 , respectively. Thus, the lesion site in the central nervous system may be a major determinant of the type of bladder and urethral @entity1690 . The high prevalence of emptying symptoms in Japanese @entity1 may reflect the prevalence of @entity2182 .
