Abstract: Objective To study the prevalence of lower urinary tract dysfunction of patients with basal ganglia hemorrhage and the relationship between the syndrome and the muscle tone. Methods 44 basal ganglia hemorrhage admissions were involved and recording the situations of micturition and nervous system. Then patients were found if having the urinary symptoms and the classification.Results The prevalence of lower urinary tract dysfunction is 61.4%, 43.2% and 27.3% at the time of the 4th week, admission and the 12th week, and the most common symptom was urgency, frequency and nocturia. There was difference between micturitional disturbance and muscle tone(P<0.05). Conclusion Lower urinary tract dysfunction after basal ganglia hemorrhage was common, and urgency, frequency and nocturia were more common. The lower urinary tract dysfunction was lower with the time flying. Patients suffering urgency, frequency and nocturia had high muscle tone.

Key words: cerebrovascular accident, lower urinary tract dysfunction, muscle tone
