Evaluation of Bladder Dysfunction Outcomes Among Standardized Bladder Shapes in Children With Spina Bifida

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 44, Issue 8, Page 1560-1568, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives To (1) propose standardized terminology for bladder shapes on fluoroscopic images in a pediatric spina bifida population and (2) determine if bladder shape is associated with filling pressures and other measures of bladder dysfunction. We hypothesized that oblong, trabeculated, and “Christmas tree” bladders would have higher filling
