Urinary retention for the neurologist

Urinary retention is a common problem, most often due to an anatomical lesion in the urinary tract causing obstruction, such as a urethral stricture or prostate enlargement.

Zusammenfassung:Urinary retention is a common problem, most often due to an anatomical lesion in the urinary tract causing obstruction, such as a urethral stricture or prostate enlargement.

We present a patient with acute urinary retention who was found to have chronic meningitis, and review the neurological causes for urinary retention.
