To investigate the ultrasonographic bladder wall thickness (BWT), urodynamic parameters and evaluate the role of such measurements for the upper and lower urinary tract deterioration and also assess the role of changes in bladder shape in the outcome of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) into the detrusor in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). There are two studies. First study was a cross-sectional study involving two hundred and seventy two patients with SCI who underwent renal and bladder ultrasonography and urodynamic evaluation. The anterior bladder wall was measured and compared to urodynamic data. Cystography was done in 57 patients. The second was a prospective study about injection of BTX-A into the detrusor performed in 27 patients considering urodynamic parameters and cystography findings. Mean BWT was 3.94 mm. BWT was statistically higher in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity associated to detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (NDO/DSD) and in those with compliance < 20 mL/cmH2O. Patients with low compliance (< 20 mL/cmH2O), had 4.2 times higher prevalence of hydronephrosis, compared to patients with compliance &#8805; 20 mL/cmH2O. Mean of Pdet max was statistically higher in patients with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) compared to those without (100.7 vs 61.2 cmH2O respectively, p=0.022). There was no statistical association between BWT and hydronephrosis or VUR. Twenty seven patients underwent injection of BTX-A into the detrusor. The average time of urinary continence was 8 months. Nine patients (33.3%) had altered bladder shape and 8 cases (29.6%) had diverticula. The maximum cystometric capacity, NDO, reflex volume and compliance showed no statistically significant difference in the presence of diverticula or altered bladder shape. Increased BWT is associated with low compliance and NDO/DSD in patients with SCI. However, there was no relationship between BWT and hydronephrosis or VUR. Low compliance and NDO/DSD are the main risk factors for the upper urinary tract damage. The presence of diverticula or changes in bladder shape did not influence the results after injection of BTX-A into the detrusor.
