A 91-year-old Chinese man developed bilateral lower limb oedema due to venous obstruction resulting from a distended urinary bladder. After the bladder was decompressed by urethral catheterisation, the bilateral lower limb oedema promptly subsided. Although a distended urinary bladder is a rare cause of bilateral lower limb oedema, it can be easily recognised by palpation of the lower abdomen and the relief of symptoms by urethral catheterisation is most rewarding.
一名91岁的中国男性因膀胱膨胀导致静脉阻塞而出现双下肢水肿。经尿道插管使膀胱减压后，双下肢水肿迅速消退。虽然膀胱膨胀是双下肢水肿的罕见原因，但通过触诊下腹部很容易识别，并且经尿道插管缓解症状非常有效。
