Introduction Neurogenic factors associated with the unstable bladder The ICS defines the overactive bladder as one that is objectively shown to contract, spontaneously or on Much of our understanding of the micturition reflex is based on the work by de Groat et al. [3]; the voiding provocation, during the filling phase of a cystometrogram while the patient is attempting to inhibit micturreflex is spinobulbospinal. To decrease the inherent instability of such a reflex, the system is modulated by central ition [1]. This definition automatically precludes the possibility of classifying detrusor activity during ambuand peripheral inhibitory and excitatory mechanisms. Key elements of the voiding reflex are; the lower urinary latory filling as ‘overactivity’, as there is no objective proof of possible attempts by the patient to inhibit the tract, with its aCerent and eCerent connections to the CNS; the lower part of the sacral spinal cord, with the contraction under the circumstances of an ambulatory urodynamic study. To further complicate the issue, the sacral micturition centre consisting of the parasympathetic motor nucleus for the bladder and the nucleus of overactive bladder may be asymptomatic. For the overactive bladder to be symptomatic, the overactive Onuf controlling sphincteric function; and the pontine micturition centre (PMC), with its land m-region conbladder must occur at volumes below the patient’s functional bladder capacity and should occur under trolling storage and micturition, respectively [4,5]. The ‘on-oC’ switch of the reflex is thought to be located in circumstances of normal everyday activity. Its presence does not necessarily imply a neurological disorder. In the PMC, where the coordination between bladder and sphincteric function is regulated. Amplification and finethe first report of the ICS, the following statement was made; ‘the presence of contractions exceeding tuning of reflex activity takes place as a result of peripheral inhibitory and excitatory signals acting on the 15 cmH 2 O clearly indicates an uninhibited detrusor contraction when the patient has been asked to inhibit’. sacral micturition centre. Most of the time the reflex is modulated in an inhibiThis statement was not added to the definition of the overactive bladder in the fourth report (published in tory fashion by diencephalic and cerebral cortical functions [3]. The cerebral cortex in a sense is responsible 1981) [2]. The use of the 15 cmH 2 O threshold is still widespread, although there is no scientific basis for this for the timing of the reflex. Functional brain scanning using single-photon emission computed tomography has arbitrary value. Indeed, patients with a very weak closure mechanism may start leaking urine even when shown that cognitively impaired geriatric patients with urge incontinence suCer from underperfusion of the the detrusor pressure rise is much lower than 15 cmH 2 O. Clinically, the typical patient with an cerebral cortex as a whole, and of the frontal lobes in particular [6]. Cortically mediated timing of the ‘on-oC’ overactive bladder is thought to present with urgency and/or frequency, and/or urge incontinence. The exact switching mechanism in these patients is impaired, leading to an uninhibited overactive bladder. The latter is relationship between the sensation of urgency and overactive bladder has not been fully explored. At least characterized by a single unstable pressure wave leading to involuntary voiding [7]. Although there is no dyssysome doubt exists as to the relation of urgency and detrusor pressure rise, because many patients with nergia, there is often incomplete emptying of the bladder due to impaired contractility. Therefore, this clinical complaints of urgency do not have an overactive bladder. Furthermore, in normal subjects, the sensation entity has been termed detrusor hyper-reflexia with impaired contractility (DHIC) by Resnick and Yalla [8]. of urgency to void almost immediately disappears after the initiation of micturition, when the detrusor pressure Suprapontine lesions in general have been associated with detrusor hyper-reflexia in 75–100% of patients [9]; is usually still increasing. in Parkinson’s disease this was true in about 25% of patients [10].
