ObjectiveIt is well‐known that bladder dysfunction is common in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Voiding dysfunction is remarkable in neuromyelitis optica (NMO). However, the difference in the urinary symptoms between MS and NMO remain unknown. We planned to elucidate the differences between the two conditions using a urinary symptoms questionnaire.MethodsWe recruited 34 patients with MS and 14 patients with NMO, who were examined at the Department of Neurology, Chiba University Hospital. We administered the following urinary symptom questionnaires: (i) Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS); and (b) International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Neurological (Evaluation of the Expanded Disability Status Scale) and neuroradiological examinations were also carried out.ResultsThe mean score of OABSS and IPSS tended to be higher in patients with NMO without statistical significance. The score of IPSS quality of life was significantly higher in patients with NMO. A positive correlation was found between the Evaluation of the Expanded Disability Status Scale and IPSS scores in patients with MS, whereas a negative correlation was found between the Evaluation of the Expanded Disability Status Scale and IPSS scores in patients with NMO. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the presence of a cervical spinal cord lesion and the central lesion involving gray matter was associated with the severity of urinary symptoms.ConclusionsThe urinary symptoms tended to be more severe in patients with NMO as compared with patients with MS. The urinary symptoms and neurological disabilities seemed to be differentially correlated between patients with MS and those with NMO.
