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.
