    Urodynamic study results. Combined sphincter electromyogram (EMG) (top line) and cystometrogram (bottom line) were performed to examine bladder function. The patient felt substitute desire to urinate when 154mL of carbon dioxide was infused (downward arrow). Her bladder capacity was 497mL (upward arrow), and then the patient urinated by applying abdominal pressure.

    Cystography results. The cystograms (A, B) do not show vesicoureteral reflux, diverticula, bladder deformities, or urinary stones.
