Abstract
Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood which result in huge socioeconomic costs. This children have a significant incidence of lower urinary tract symptoms. Clean intermittent self-catheterization is needed to avoid deterioration of renal function. But significant spasticity and resulting contractures of the adductors can interfere with the caretakers’ ability to provide perineal hygiene. Surgery in cerebral palsy affected child is challenging due to multiple associated comorbidities. The aim of this report is to describe quality of life and renal function for a mentally retarded child with cerebral palsy before and after Mitrofanoff diversion without bladder augmentation.
