Abstract
With spina bifida, there are cases of simultaneous spasm or relaxation of the cystic wall and internal sphincter, or a combination of the two. In some cases, a. found noticeable changes in the voluntary sphincter, and in some cases even its complete absence. The state of this sphincter can be judged by the degree of sensitivity disorder of the pudendal plexus, from which an additional nerve approaches the arbitrary sphincter. No connection can be established between the size of spina bifida, the degree of urinary or defecation failure and the degree of sensory disturbance of the pudendal plexus.
