Abstract
Bladder and bowel dysfunction is common in multiple sclerosis. After accura te diagnosis of dysfunction, a management program with anticholinergic or a lphabloquers drugs is mandatory. Intermittent catheterization, surgical tre atment, or electrostimulation are proposed in most severe cases. Therapies for intestinal disorders are more limited. Management of symptoms and diffe rents therapies are reviewed.
