A functional magnetic resonance imaging study of the effect of sacral neuromodulation on brain responses in women with Fowler's syndrome
BJU International, 09/10/09
Kavia R et al. – These data show that brain responses to bladder filling are abnormal in FS. The explanation for this that best explains the evidence is that the primary abnormality is an overactive urethra that generates abnormally strong inhibitory afferent signals, so effectively blocking bladder afferent activity at the sacral level and deactivating the PAG and higher centres, with consequent loss of bladder sensation and ability to void. Apparently, a normal mechanism for suppression of incontinence involving the striated urethral sphincter becomes exaggerated in FS and prevents voiding. SNM seems to act at the sacral level, by blocking inhibition by urethral afferents.
