[Endoscopic augmentation of neurogenic bladder with botulinum-A toxin in children].

THE AIM: To present our experience with endoscopic intradetrusor injections of botulinum-A toxin. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Endoscopic treatment was proposed for children in which no improvement or side effects were observed. Botulinum-A toxin was injected in 25 children 3 to 7 years old. All children were evaluated with voiding-charts, in all of them urodynamic investigations were also performed in the pre and post-procedure period. RESULTS: Increased bladder volume was found in 18 patients, in 5 children bladder volume decreased. No major side effects were noted post BTX injections. CONCLUSIONS: Botulinum-A toxin in useful in children with neurogenic bladder overactivity.
