| poorly compliant bladder | A bladder that has high pressure at low volumes in the absence of detrusor activity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pseudoneurogenic bladder | <urology> Detrusor-sphincter incoordination with urinary incontinence, constipation, urinary tract infection, upper tract changes. Synonym: Hinman syndrome, pseudoneurogenic bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |

| neurogenic bladder | A dysfunction of the bladder due a malfunction of the autonomic nerves which control bladder function. (27 Sep 1997) |
| neuropathic bladder | Any defective functioning of bladder due to impaired innervation, e.g., cord bladder, neuropathic bladder. Synonym: neurogenic bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonneurogenic neurogenic bladder | <urology> Detrusor-sphincter incoordination with urinary incontinence, constipation, urinary tract infection, upper tract changes. Synonym: Hinman syndrome, pseudoneurogenic bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
