An elderly patient affected by incomplete cauda equina syndrome underwent intravesical electrostimulation (IVES) to improve impaired bladder emptying. One month after IVES treatment, which consisted of 20 daily sessions, cistometrography evidenced a normalization of urinary pattern and a concomitant, but unexpected, improvement of constipation (Wexner score from 22 to 4).This report demonstrates that IVES may be considered another viable and less invasive option for controlling constipation secondary to spinal and peripheral nerve lesions.
一位患有不完全马尾综合征的老年患者接受了膀胱内电刺激（IVES）治疗，以改善受损的膀胱排空功能。IVES 治疗包括 20 次每日疗程，在治疗一个月后，膀胱测压描记术显示尿流模式正常，同时意外地改善了便秘（Wexner 评分从 22 分降至 4 分）。本报告表明，IVES 可被视为另一种可行且侵入性较小的选择，用于控制脊髓和周围神经损伤引起的便秘。
