Résumé

Conventional teaching has maintained that the detrusor musculature is wellcoupled
and unilateral innervation should prompt a coordinated detrusor
contraction. We present the case of a 17-year-old girl with a tethered spinal
cord, unilateral neurologic symptoms and fluoroscopic evidence of ipsilateral
hemiparesis of the bladder unresponsive to cord detethering. This adds to a
small body of evidence that the bladder smooth muscle is less well-coupled than
once believed.
