Abstract

When evaluating the voiding pattern in infants, the normal evaluation of micturition parameters in healthy normal developing infants must be taken into consideration. • Different voiding parameters in healthy infants who are not yet toilet trained are reported. • Voiding was believed to be induced by a constant bladder volume, while nowadays, it is detected that infants possess a functional spino-pontospinal voiding pathway. • Arousal was detected in less than 60 % of all preterm micturitions, while it was present in more than 90 % of the micturitions of healthy "term" infants. • Voided volume, bladder capacity, and flow rate tend to increase with age. In contrast, voiding frequency, post-void residual urine, and interrupted voiding diminishes with an increasing age.
