Patients divided into several subgroups according to the neurological diagnosis, and the following data were collected: age, sex, irritative symptoms [frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence], obstructive symptoms [straining, slow stream, hesitancy, retention of urine], timing [before or after neurological disease], and finally evolution of symptoms either solved or persistent.Results: We studied 104 patients; 53 were females and 51 males.
