Abstract
In the present study we discuss the clinical presentation and the urodymaic studies in a particular type of urinary incontinence. The clinical observation was loss of urine between micturition that could begin any moment after the last voiding without any type of sensation. It was never expressed by a flow of urine but by dribbling, and did not empty the bladder. Differential diagnosis was made with overflow incontinence and ectopic ureter. The urodynamic inding was absence of endourethral pressure in the Urethral Pressure Profile at the bladder neck and posterior urethra. This was a common finding for the six patients studied. The etiologyc factors found were:
1) No neurologic nor urologic alterations found in three patients.
2) Neurologic sequelae expressed for minimal medular alteration.
3) Neurologic sequelae due to surgical section of periferal nerves during anal descent.
4) Surgical sequelae of Y-V plasty of the bladder neck.
