External Urethral Sphincter Botulinum Toxin Injection to Treat Pseudodysynergia in Patients With Cerebral Palsy

To evaluate urinary outcomes following cystoscopic external urinary sphincter onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX) injections in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Adults with CP can suffer from bladder outlet obstruction and urinary retention due to a spastic external urethral sphincter ( “pseudodysynergia”). We have used BTX injections into the sphincter to relieve the obstruction and allow patients to maintain spontaneous voiding rather than intermittent catheterization.
