Vesicoureteral Reflux and Primary Bladder Neck Dysfunction in Children: Urodynamic Evaluation and Randomized, Double-Blind, Clinical Trial on Effect of α-Blocker Therapy

Abstract

Special attention should be given to secondary causes of vesicoureteral reflux (such as primary bladder neck dysfunction, an underdiagnosed entity in children), since conventional treatment will most likely fail if these conditions are not addressed promptly. In this study prazosin was effective therapy for children with vesicoureteral reflux and primary bladder neck dysfunction.
