Bladder dysfunction and urinary tract infection caused by abdominal pseudocyst with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt: A case report with literature review
Journal Title: Pediatric Urology Case Reports - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue
Abstract
The lower urinary tract dysfunction of the neurogenic bladder often worsens owing to dysfunction of the bladder itself. We treated a patient with spina bifida who experienced bladder dysfunction that worsened owing to an abdominal pseudocyst that developed as a complication of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. After removal of the pseudocyst, the urinary tract infection was controlled and bladder dysfunction was alleviated to a basal level.
