【 摘 要 】

Persons with spinal cord injury are at risk for developing debris in the neuropathic bladder . Ultrasound scan of the urinary bladder helps to (1) detect debris, (2) differentiate debris from other bladder lesions , (3) alert the spinal cord physician to review bladder management, and (4) monitor the effect of various treatment regime to clear the debris. We present 4 cases to illustrate the sonographic appearances of debris in the neuropathic bladder and how treatment plans tailored to the needs of the individual patient helped to clear the debris.
