Spinning top urethra and voiding dysfunction in children

, , , , and

ABSTRACT

Voiding dysfunction is a common clinic complaint during childhood, frequently associated with urinary tract infection, vesicoureteric reflux and chronic constipation.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the existence of an association between the symptoms of voiding dysfunction and the cystoureterogram aspect of spinning top urethra (STU).

Material and method. The study was performed during January 2005 and December 2009 in the IIIrd Pediatric Clinic, Cluj-Napoca. The study included 105 patients with symptomatic voiding dysfunction. The patients were divided in two groups, according to the presents or absence of STU. They were investigated clinically as well as through imaging techniques by means of renourinary ultrasound and voiding cystourethrography.

Results. STU was present in 57.1% of the patients, more frequent in females. Urgency (82.5%) and urinary incontinence (75.3%) were statistically significant associated with STU. In the patients with voiding dysfunction and STU, recurrent urinary tract infection is independently associated with STU.

In conclusion, the cystourethrography aspect of STU is more frequent in females and statistically significant associated with voiding dysfunction symptoms and with recurrent urinary tract infection.

Key words: spinning top urethra, voiding dysfunction, children

SPINNING TOP URETHRA SI DISFUNCTIA MICTIONALA LA COPIL

, , , , and

REZUMAT

Disfuncţia micţională este o manifestare clinică comună vârstei pediatrice. Este frecvent asociată cu infecţia urinară recurentă, constipaţia cronică şi refluxul vezicoureteral.

Scopul lucrării este de a evalua existenţa unei asocieri între simptomele disfuncţiei micţionale şi aspectul cistografic de spinning top urethra (STU).

Material şi metodă. Studiul s-a efectuat în Clinica Pediatrie III, Cluj-Napoca, în perioada ianuarie 2005- decembrie 2009. S-au luat în studiu un număr de 105 pacienţi cu simptomatologie de disfuncţie micţională, care au fost împărţiţi în două loturi, în funcţie de prezenţa sau nu a STU. Pacienţii au fost investigaţi clinic şi imagistic prin ultrasonografie renourinară şi uretrocistografie micţională retrogradă.

Rezultate. STU a fost prezentă într-un procent de 57,1%, fiind mai frecventă la sexul feminin. Urgenţa la micţiune (82,5%) şi incontinenţa urinară (75,3%) sunt factori independenţi asociaţi statistic semnificativ cu aspectul de STU. La pacienţii cu disfuncţie micţională şi STU, infecţia urinară recurentă este un factor independent asociat cu spinning top urethra.

În concluzie, la pacienţii cu disfuncţie micţională, aspectul cistografic de STU, este mai frecvent întâlnit la sexul feminin şi se asociază statistic semnificativ cu simptomele disfuncţiei micţionale şi infecţia urinară recurentă.
