title: The effect of a serotonin antagonist ketanserin on acute urinary retention.
abstract: The serotonin antagonist ketanserin has in a single case been found effective in promoting bladder emptying in a patient with first time acute urinary retention on basis of benign prostatic hypertrophy. The mechanism behind is probably an alpha-receptor blockade.
