Neurogenic Bladder

Diagnosis of Neurogenic Bladder

Diagnosis of neurogenic bladder usually involves testing both the nervous system (including the brain) and the bladder itself. Diagnostic tests may include:

X-rays of the skull and spine
EEG (electroencephalogram): wires are taped to the forehead to sense any brain dysfunction (similar to an electrocardiogram test of the heart)
Bladder muscle and nerve tests, including x-rays of the bladder and ureters and filling the bladder to check its capacity and ability to empty completely
