Evaluation of psychogenic urinary retention.

Urinary retention may develop in the absence of significant organic disease. Patients with psychogenic retention range from those with episodic acute retention to those who have learned to inhibit urination and have retention with a large residual urine volume owing to myotonic detrusor degeneration. A combination of thorough medical, neurologic, psychiatric and urologic evaluation is indicated for all such patients. Management consists of the implementation of bladder training with or without intermittent catheterization, which generally may be accomplished on an outpatient basis.

[High-grade Urinary retention in the upper urinary tract due to ovarian cysts].

The obstructive uropathy of the upper urinary tract the reason of which is to be searched e.g. in congenital malformation, concrements hindering the passage, strictures and tumors of the urinary tract itself as well as in growing and displacing processes of the adjoining organs have often been observed and described. More seldom this is suitable for benign expansive processes of the ovary. Especially smaller growing and displacing benign processes in the ovary area may result in considerable difficulties concerning differential diagnosis. It is reported on a case of chronic urinary retention with cystic changes of the ovary.

Psychogenic urinary retention.

Six cases (5 females and 1 male) of unexplained urinary retention are reported. The diagnosis of psychogenic urinary retention was considered after negative medical, urologic, urodynamic, and neurologic evaluations. This diagnosis was then confirmed by psychiatric consultation. Urinary retention was managed by combining biofeedback-monitored relaxation and specific imagery techniques with intermittent self-catheterization on a fixed schedule. Psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and behavior therapy were also utilized with good to excellent short-term results.

Acute urinary retention in young homosexuals.

Acute urinary retention secondary to and intercourse was found in 4 homosexuals. All four were treated initially with an indwelling Foley catheter and then with bethanechol and phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline). Normal micturition was restored in all 4 patients. Anal dilatation can produce reflex bladder inhibition resulting in acute retention.

Hyperosmolar diabetes presenting as acute urinary retention: report of three cases.

Three elderly patients presented at one hospital in a 2-week period with acute urinary retention precipitated by the hyperosmolar non-ketotic diabetic state. In each case routine urine testing was reported as showing 1 per cent glycosuria. The first two patients were admitted at night and blood glucose estimations were not done. This led to a delay of 16 and 12 h respectively before the appropriate therapy was instituted. It is suggested that this clinical presentation, previously unreported, may not be a rarity and represents an avoidable cause of death in patients with acute urinary retention.

Uterus didelphys with unilateral imperforate vagina: a rare cause of acute urinary retention.

The first case is reported of acute urinary retention caused by hematocolpos owing to uterus didelphys with a unilateral imperforate vagina. A brief description of this rare anomaly and its usual presenting signs and symptoms is presented. Finally, a synopsis of the embryologic defects responsible for the development of the anomaly and the recommended management of the disorder are outlined.

[The treatment of urinary retention in the woman by partial urethrectomy (author's transl)].

Urinary retention due to a urological cause is relatively rare in the woman. As in the male, it is associated with dysuria, frequency, bladder distension and renal failure, and nevertheless is often unrecognised. Attributed to bladder neck disease, treatment by endoscopic resection gives few good results. The abnormal length of the urethra (35 to 60 mm) in women with retention led us to shorten the urethra by ablation of the meatus and resection of 10 to 15 mm of the terminal urethra in order to obtain a final length a little shorter than the average, less than 30 mm. This shortening involves opening of the urethrovesical angle and restores micturition. This simple technique, free of mortality, resulted in micturition without residue in 12 of the 15 patients operated upon and seen at long term follow-up. It may be used without difficulty when another technique has failed; endoscopic resection, YV plasty, dilatations.

Vesicoplication in the management of chronic urinary retention.

Eighteen patients have been treated by vesicoplication for low tension chronic urinary retention. The clinical presentation, operative technique and results in these 18 patients are discussed. Vesicoplication is shown to be a simple, safe and effective method of relieving symptoms in this group of patients.

Multiple urethral metastases from prostatic carcinoma causing urinary retention.

A rare case of multiple urethral metastases from adenocarcinoma of prostate causing urinary retention is reported. The unique findings of the urethrogram are described. Transurethral resection provided symptomatic relief. No local recurrence of tumor was observed during the follow-up period of sixteen months.

Unusual cause of acute urinary retention in a child.

A five-year-old child presented with a history of acute urinary retention for eighteen hours. Extensive diagnostic evaluation proved the presence of a retrovesical pelvic mass, which on surgical exploration was found to be an acutely inflamed appendix.

[Urinary retention caused by large cyst of the Müllerian duct (author's transl)].

The rare case of urinary retention caused by a large Müllerian duct cyst in a 41-year-old man is described. The embryological fundaments and frequency of these cysts are discussed as well as the necessary diagnostic steps and operative procedures. A survey of the literature is presented and the different diagnostic findings in these and other cystic tumors of the male pelvis are shown.

A retrovesical echinococcal cyst: unusual cause of acute urinary retention.

In a middle-aged man a rare case of echinococcal cyst of the retrovesical space is reported as a very unusual cause of acute urinary retention. The discussion points out the difference between primary and secondary hydatid cyst of the retroperitoneum, the diagnostic problems and a suggested treatment is given.

Natural history of benign prostatic hypertrophy and acute urinary retention.

Twenty-six patients with prostatism due to benign prostatic hypertrophy were evaluated prospectively every three to six months for three years. Using both subjective and objective criteria significant deterioration was demonstrated. The rate of deterioration appeared independent of prostatic size. In the individual patient progression was variable. More than half of the patients were unchanged or improved after two years. Acute urinary retention appeared independent of the degree of prostatism and therefore unpredictable. The methods can be used to evaluate medical treatments of benign prostatic hypertrophy.

Rectosigmoid pseudostenosis due to urinary retention.

Pseudostenosis of the rectosigmoid colon due to compression by a dilated urinary bladder may pose a diagnostic problem. Although probably quite common, it has not received much attention in the radiological literature. Four cases are presented and the radiological features on barium enema are described.
