Summary
Hinman Syndrome, characterized by involuntary sphincter contractions during urination, was treated effectively in a young man. Biofeedback and intermittent self-catheterization led to symptom resolution and normal bladder function.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Neurology
Background:
- Hinman Syndrome involves involuntary periurethral sphincter contractions during micturition.
- Diagnosis excludes neurological disease and anatomical obstruction.
Observation:
- A 23-year-old male diagnosed with Hinman Syndrome underwent left nephroureterectomy for ureterohydronephrosis.
- The condition was secondary to long-term massive vesicoureteral reflux.
Findings:
- The patient was treated with biofeedback and intermittent self-catheterization.
- Six months post-treatment, the patient was asymptomatic with normal micturition and no residual urine.
Implications:
- Biofeedback and intermittent self-catheterization are effective treatments for Hinman Syndrome.
- This approach can restore normal bladder function and resolve symptoms in affected individuals.
