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.
我们报告一例因子宫平滑肌瘤导致膀胱颈高度成角继发急性尿潴留(AUR)的病例。我们的患者是一名45岁女性,因AUR和耻骨上疼痛前来就诊,需要进行导尿。CT图像突出显示了膀胱悬吊继发的梗阻水平,而非直接的尿道压迫。该病例突出了AUR的这种独特表现,证明了理解其不同机制的必要性。临床医生对患有平滑肌瘤和下尿路症状的患者应保持对AUR的高度怀疑指数。提高认识和及时干预对于预防潜在并发症至关重要。
