The destructive effect of MS on the urogenital system has been demonstrated in many studies especially in young adults. Urodynamic evaluation is recommended in the diagnosis of urogenital system pathologies for MS patients. Unfortunately, there are not enough studies evaluating the urodynamic examinations of MS patients in our country. In this study, urodynamic findings of patients with MS were evaluated. Material and Method: A total of 58 patients (39 female and 19 male) were included in the study. The urodynamic findings of the patients in the same center between January 2011 and October 2017 were evaluated retrospectively. Urodynamic evaluation was performed with 20 ml of infusion per minute according to the International Continence Society standards. Results: The mean age of the patients was 47.4 +/- 8.8 years. The mean duration of multiple sclerosis was 11.8 +/- 7.4 years. When the features of multiple sclerosis were evaluated, 13 (22.4%) patients had a progressive type, 20 (34.5%) had a secondary progressive type, and 25 (43.1%) had relapsing-remitting (with relapses and remissions). The urodynamic findings of the patients are shown in Table 1. Urodynamic evaluations of patients with urinary incontinence are reported as 'Urge type urinary incontinence' was observed in 30 (83.3%), 'stress type urinary incontinence' in 5 (13.9%) and 'mixed type urinary incontinence' in 1 (2.8%) patient. Discussion: Multiple sclerosis is a common neurological pathology which has different urinary system findings. Detrusor overactivity is the most common urinary manifestation, and patients may also have impaired contractility, detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, urodynamic stress incontinence, and bladder outlet obstruction.en10.4328/ACAM.6097info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMultiple SclerosisUrodynamic FindingsDetrusor OveractivityTo-Door SurveyDysfunctionPrevalenceGuidelinesManagementArticle1112023N/AWOS:000572683200005
