The aim of this study was to determine the urological abnormalities linked to spontaneous spongiform encephalopathy and their occurrence in the course of the disease. The animals used in this were 11 healthy and 20 scrapie-affected ewes. The scrapie-affected ewes were studied at a rate of once a month (1 to 5 measures; mean, 2.55) until they died. Urodynamic explorations were performed. The bladder activity was explored using cystometry. The urethral activity was measured during cystometry and during a urethral pressure profile. Both were analyzed using International Continence Society recommendations. Results showed in scrapie-affected ewes a decrease in functional bladder capacity and an increase in detrusor contraction incidence during filling of the bladder and in the occurrence of significant urethral instability. Bladder abnormalities were seen only in scrapie-affected ewes and worsened during the course of the disease. Urethral instability was not typical of the disease but was significantly more frequent in scrapie-affected ewes. It was concluded that lower urinary tract dysfunction occurred in scrapie-affected ewes and worsened during the course of the disease. This dysfunction is in agreement with overactive detrusor function due to neurological lesions.
