Summary To determine the individual contribution of the right and left cerebral hemispheres to micturition control, a clinical analysis was performed concerning frequency and urgency of micturition in 134 chronic hemiplegic patients. A mean frequency of urination, 9 times or more in 24h, was found more frequently in left than right hemiplegics. Left hemiplegics also complained more often of urgency than did right hemiplegics. A mean frequency of urination of 9 times or more in 24h and urgency co-existed more frequently in left hemiplegics than in right hemiplegics. In the present study, dealing with the chronic sequelae of stroke, frequency and urgency of micturition were found more commonly in patients with right hemisphere than left hemisphere lesions.
