Summary— The findings of combined, simultaneous, urodynamic and radiological studies in a series of 109 patients with congenital neurovesical dysfunction are described. The results are classified firstly in terms of voiding activity, that is whether this occurred only by involuntary detrusor contractions, only by abdominal expression or straining or by both means, and secondly in terms of the bladder's ability to store and void urine. The reasons for failures in these latter respects were variable and are discussed in detail.
