title: Micturition with headache: phaeochromocytoma of the bladder.
abstract: A patient with a 20-year history of severe frontal headaches when passing urine was found to be severely hypertensive. Investigations confirmed a clinical diagnosis of phaeochromocytoma of the bladder. Treatment by a partial cystectomy and transuretero-ureterostomy resulted in a complete removal of the tumour, control of his hypertension and resolution of the headaches.
