    European Neurology
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A patient experienced painless urinary retention that resolved spontaneously. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed elevated protein and lymphocytes, despite normal cystometry and initial neurological exams, suggesting a potential inflammatory or infectious neurological cause.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Urinary retention can have various etiologies, including neurological conditions.
    • Spontaneous resolution of urinary retention is uncommon and warrants investigation.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with acute, painless urinary retention.
    • Neurological examination revealed no definitive abnormalities at the onset.
    • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis showed elevated protein and lymphocyte counts.

    Findings:

    • Despite normal cystometry, the CSF findings suggest an underlying inflammatory or demyelinating process.
    • The urinary retention resolved spontaneously within two weeks.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering neurological causes in patients with unexplained urinary retention.
