Abstract
The occurrence of spinal cord lesions in children has been reported to be rare. In the literature, there is little information about the management of the neurovesical dysfunction. We report our experience in the treatment of the neuropathic bladder in 18 children with spinal cord injury. The long-term follow-up shows that there is a good recovery and the complication rate is low.
