[Micturition disorders in patients with severe injuries to the cervical portion of the spinal cord].

Disorders of micturition in 163 patients with a severe trauma of the cervical portion of the spinal cord are analysed. The data obtained concerning the functional condition and afferentation of the urinary bladder and the severity of the developing combined urologic complications (pyelonephritis, urolithiasis, vesicoureteral reflux, etc.) are evidence of marked disorders of micturition which are directly dependant on the time elapsed since the injury to the spinal cord had occurred and its severity.
