Can someone please explain how the cord section leads to spastic or atonic bladder?
I know that cord section above the sacral segments leads to spastic/flaccid bladder in which there's detrusor overactivity and frequent urination. And cord section at the sacral segments leads to atonic bladder with constant dribbling of urine since detrusor lost its tone.
But exactly how did this happen? Which efferent/afferent fibers are involved?
Also when we say neurogenic bladder, do we mean spastic/flaccid bladder? Or are both spastic/flaccid bladder and atonic bladder sub-categories of neurogenic bladder?
