Practical urodynamics in children, part 2: Normal uroflowmetry curve is not a guarantee of normal voiding function

摘要

Since uroflowmetry and postvoiding residual (PVR) urine tests are noninyasive and relatively inexpensive, they are regarded as first-line screening tools for evaluating pediatric voiding function.1 The International Children's Continence Society states that bell-shaped uroflowmetry curves usually imply normal voiding function in children.2 Herein, we present a girl with voiding dysfunction who had a normal bell-shaped uroflowmetry curve because of abdominal straining.
