Transverse myelitis (TM) is an inflammation of the spinal cord which causes neurological deficit in motor, sensory, and autonomic pathways. Persistent neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) is common even where motor and sensory impairment is recovered. Long term follow‐up is required to ensure optimal bladder management and protection of the upper tracts. We describe the clinical outcomes for a cohort of patients with TM who have received neurourological follow‐up in a specialist center.
