Urinary retention without organic cause in children.

I M Baldew, H H van Gelderen

    British Journal of Urology
    |April 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Non-organic acute urinary retention, rare in children, was studied in six cases. This condition, often linked to constipation and infrequent voiding, requires careful diagnosis excluding other causes.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Psychosomatic Medicine

    Background:

    • Acute urinary retention (AUR) is common in adults but infrequently reported in pediatric populations.
    • Non-organic AUR lacks a clear etiological basis, necessitating differential diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • Six pediatric cases (four boys, two girls) of non-organic AUR were identified.
    • Patients presented with acute inability to void.
    • Associated symptoms included constipation and infrequent voiding patterns.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis was established through comprehensive urological evaluations yielding negative findings for organic causes.
    • The condition was termed 'psychogenic urinary retention' in this pediatric cohort.
    • A correlation between non-organic AUR, constipation, and infrequent voiding was observed.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the existence and characteristics of non-organic AUR in children.
    • Emphasizes the importance of thorough urological assessment to exclude organic pathology.
    • Suggests a potential link between functional bowel and bladder issues in pediatric patients.
