Summary A method of the urodynamic investigation of paraplegic and quadriplegic patients is described. Serial measurements of the urethral pressure profile in patients with developing reflex micturition demonstrate a rising pressure at the external urethral sphincter with time following spinal trauma. Patterns of micturition with detrusor‐sphincteric imbalance are described in patients with both early and well‐established reflex micturition.
