Neurophysiological measurements of the innervation of the lower urinary tract were performed on 14 female patients presenting with unexplained acute urinary retention. The method consisted of (a) static electromyography (EMG) of the anal and urethral sphincter with the patient relaxed, coughing and gripping, (b) the study of sensory thresholds on the dorsal nerve of the clitoris and in the urethra, (c) the measurement of sacral reflex latencies (SRL) from the dorsal nerve of the clitoris to the anus and urethra and from the urethra to the anus. The results showed that all 14 patients had significant defects in the innervation of their lower urinary tract. These findings suggest that a neurological explanation for acute retention in women should always be sought before making any other diagnosis.
对14名表现为不明原因急性尿潴留的女性患者进行了下尿路神经支配的神经生理学测量。该方法包括：(a) 在患者放松、咳嗽和用力时对肛门和尿道括约肌进行静态肌电图(EMG)检查；(b) 研究阴蒂背神经和尿道的感觉阈值；(c) 测量从阴蒂背神经到肛门和尿道以及从尿道到肛门的骶反射潜伏期(SRL)。结果显示，所有14名患者的下尿路神经支配均存在明显缺陷。这些发现表明，在做出任何其他诊断之前，应始终寻求女性急性尿潴留的神经学解释。
