This introductory presentation deals with the recent pathophysiological aspects of the post-traumatic spinal cord lesion and the population concerned. The neurophysiology of the bladder and its sphincters is summarized so as to try and explain some disturbances occurring during the acute phase following a spinal cord injury; their clinical and urological aspects and the methods of bladder drainage.
