| Popis: |
We present a case of acute urinary retention (AUR) with hyper-angulation of the urinary bladder neck secondary to uterine leiomyoma. Our patient is a 45-year-old female who presented with AUR and suprapubic pain requiring catheterization. CT images highlight the level of obstruction secondary to suspension of the urinary bladder rather than direct urethral compression. This case highlights this unique manifestation of AUR demonstrating the necessity for understanding its different mechanisms. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for AUR in patients with leiomyoma and lower urinary tract symptoms. Heightened awareness and timely intervention are crucial in preventing potential complications. |
