Abstract

A 61-year-old intellectually disabled, otherwise healthy man presented himself at the emergency department with a painful, abdominal distension and constipation. Abdominal computed tomography showed an impressive, acute urinary retention with a volume of 8.5 liter, without signs of renal dysfunction. Drainage with a urinary catheter provided immediate relief of symptoms.
