Abstract
Urinary incontinence is a formidable social handicap in many children with myelodysplasia. Girls in whom pharmacologic therapy and intermittent catheterization fail to alleviate incontinence present particularly difficult management problems. Permanent catheter drainage of the bladder or supravesical urinary diversion frequently has been used solely for control of incontinence.

Postoperatively, she remains totally continent on intermittent catheterization.
