-In 61 patients with cauda equina syndrome and neurogenic bladder, 32.8% showed detrusor overactivity. -In most of patients with detrusor overactivity (85%), the highest level of injury (HLI) on electrophysiological assessment was L2 or above. Distribution of CES patients with DOA or DUA according to electrophysiological HLI. DOA, detrusor overactivity; DUA, detrusor underactivity or acontractility

Detrusor overactivity in patient with cauda equina syndrome might be associated with combined conus medullaris lesion. Electrophysiology might be the most useful assessment tool for prediction of neurogenic bladder type in CES patients.
