Intravesical Oxybutynin for Neurogenic Bladder in Children

Seiya Inoue,Motoaki Saito*,Masashi Honda,Fotios Dimitriadis,Atsushi Takenaka

Neuropathic bladder dysfunction caused by spinal cord disease may lead to irreversible renal damage and urinary incontinence. The majority of affected children can be successfully managed with standard medical treatment such as oral anti-cholinergic medication (typically oxybutynin or tolterodine) with or without Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC). The efficacy of this treatment, however, may be hampered as some of these patients experience severe Adverse Events (AEs) or insufficient suppression of detrusor over activity following oral anti-muscarinic pharmacotherapy. Intravesical oxybutynin chloride is an effective therapy for neurogenic bladder dysfunction; this review considers the indications, administration, safety, and efficacy of intravesical oxybutynin chloride instillation. In addition, some cases of children treated with intravesical oxybutynin chloride solution supplemented with hydroxypropylcellulose (modified intravesical oxybutynin) are described.
