    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Sacral myeloradiculitis is a rare neurological condition affecting the sacral nerve roots.
    • It can present with urinary retention, a significant urological symptom.

    Observation:

    • This report details three cases of acute urinary retention caused by sacral myeloradiculitis.
    • The clinical presentation highlights the urinary symptoms associated with this condition.

    Findings:

    • Sacral myeloradiculitis is a benign condition that requires accurate diagnosis.
    • Misdiagnosis as psychogenic or demyelinating disease is a common pitfall.

    Implications:

    • Emphasizes the need for increased clinical awareness of sacral myeloradiculitis.
    • Highlights the importance of distinguishing this benign entity from more severe neurological disorders.
