Urodynamiques dans les sténoses rachidiennes : revue de la littérature Urodynamics and spinal stenosis: a review of literature

Spinal stenosis are usually localized in the lumbar spine and associated with cervical stenosis in 10–20% of the cases. Ten to 14% patients with lumbar spine stenosis develop bladder and bowel symptoms and 50% of patients with cervical spine stenosis. There is a wide variety of urinary symptoms, which seem correlated to the severity of the spinal stenosis. Urodynamics study revealed neurogenic bladder in 50–80% cases. Through a review of literature, we propose analyzing urinary symptoms and urodynamics studies in lumbar and cervical spinal stenoses.
