Brief description/objective

This practice case describes a 28-year-old female patient suffering from unclear residual urine formation. Urogynecologic examination reveals a severely hypercapacitated bladder with atonic detrusor. After ruling out other gynecologic and neurologic differential diagnoses, the diagnosis of Fowler syndrome was made. This is a painless residual urine formation with typical pelvic floor EMG with detrusor sphincter dyscoordination. Causal therapies do not exist. Sacral neuromodulation, percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, or intermittent self-catheterization.
