Abstract
Acute urinary retention may occur in the normal human bladder, it may develop in a bladder that shows evidence of chronic work hypertrophy as the result of obstruction to the outflow of urine, or it may be the result of neurogenic vesical dysfunction in a patient whose bladder innervation has been disrupted by injury or disease. It has not been possible to satisfactorily postulate the mechanism or mechanisms responsible for the occurrence of acute urinary retention. Because cystometry has been proven to be a very useful adjunct for the clinical investigation of other aspects of bladder physiology, its application to the study of acute urinary retention is presented as the result of a clinical investigation.
