Vejiga neurógena

Definición:

Es un problema urinario en el cual la vejiga no se vacía apropiadamente. Dependiendo del tipo de trastorno neurológico causante del problema, la vejiga puede vaciarse en forma espontánea (incontinencia) o puede no vaciarse completamente (retención con goteo por rebosamiento).

Algunas de las causas comunes para que se presente vejiga neurógena son un tumor del sistema nervioso, un trauma, neuropatía o enfermedades inflamatorias como la esclerosis múltiple.
