Vibegron for Anticholinergic-Resistant Pediatric Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction After Spinal Cord Amputation: A Case Report. [PDF]

IJU Case Rep
ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) is commonly managed with anticholinergic agents and clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). However, treatment options are limited for patients who remain resistant to conventional therapy, particularly following spinal cord surgery. Case Presentation A 14‐year‐old boy
