Acute urinary retention due to sacral myeloradiculitis

J A Vanneste et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1980 Oct.

Abstract

Three cases of acute urinary retention without local urological causes are described. A diagnosis of sacral myeloradiculitis of viral origin appeared more likely than a first episode of multiple sclerosis. The literature is reviewed and a protocol for the investigation of such patients is suggested.
