There are many types and causes of overactive bladder, and not all types and causes are known. However, some rare but specific types of overactive bladder include cerebral palsy related overactive bladder, a complication of cerebral palsy that causes poor control of the muscles that keep the bladder closed. An anatomic anomaly (deformity) is responsible for posterior urethral valves associated overactive bladder. Myelomeningocele related overactive bladder is due to a spinal cord lesion that affects storage and emptying of urine. A deformity of the lower spine, called sacral agenesis, is another cause of overactive bladder.
