| Popis: | Spinal cord tumors are a rare cause of urinary incontinence. Tumors of the spinal cord usually present with pain, not with isolated urinary complaints. We report a case in which a patient with an epidermoid tumor of the cauda equina presented initially to a gynecologist complaining of urinary incontinence and pelvic relaxation symptoms. Failure to appreciate the neurologic signs on physical examination may have led to a delay in diagnosis and inappropriate management of the patient. |
