title: [Increased residual urine volume after local injection of botulinum A toxin].
abstract: After major head trauma, a 28-year-old male patient developed tetraparesis with marked left-sided contractions of the leg adductors. Spasticity was resistant to antispastic drugs and intensive physiotherapy. Therefore, we injected 12.5 ng botulinum A toxin (Dysport) in the left adductor longus and adductor magnus. Eight measurements of the post-micturition residual urine of the bladder before botulinum-A-toxin administration gave no evidence for urinary retention. Between day 5 and 14 after injection we measured pathologically increased urinary volumes up to 130 ml at five different points of time. This case report indicates possible subclinical side effects on the autonomic nervous system of the urinary bladder.
