CASE REPORT
OnabotulinumtoxinA injections in detrusor facilitate self-catheterisation in a patient with paraplegia and bladder outlet dyssynergia

Summary

This case report describes the case of improvement of clean intermittent catheterisation procedures after each intradetrusor administration of onabotulinumtoxinA in a 45-year-old man with L1 paraplegia with neurogenic detrusor overactivity and bladder outlet dyssynergia.On three occasions, improvement on clean intermittent catheterisation procedures appeared 10 to 14 days after intradetrusor injections of onabotulinumtoxinA and lasted for 9 months. We hypothesise a possible influence of intravesical injections of onabotulinumtoxinA on the storage reflex. We also discuss the possibility of a dispersion of onabotulinumtoxinA towards contiguous structures such as the urethral sphincter.
