Intradetrusor injection of botulinum toxin (BTx) was approved in 2011 by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity only. The off-label use is increasingly common and we have explored its successful use in two varied cases of refractory voiding dysfunction.

Editor's Notes
Localized administration produces chemical
denervation by irreversible binding to the presynaptic membrane, producing a long-lasting paralytic effect.
The toxin may take 24–48 h to exert its effects.
After 3–6 months, the axons regenerate, thus reversing the denervation process.
The toxin is dose- and site-specific. The duration of effect will vary considerably depending on how it is used.
Detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia
Detrusor hyperreflexia (neurogenic detrusor activity)
Spastic conditions of the urethral rhabdosphincter
(non-relaxing sphincter)
Chronic prostatic pain (and pelvic floor spasticity)
Interstitial cystitis, motor and sensory urge incontinence
Non-fibrotic bladder outflow obstruction (including treatment of
benign prostatic hyperplasia)
Detrusor underactivity and acute urinary retention in women
