Hinman syndrome: a vicious cycle.
In Hinman syndrome, psychosocial problems are associated with voiding dysfunction, urinary tract infections, and incontinence. The latter can exacerbate the former and a vicious cycle can result in worsening symptoms and renal sequelae. Although interruption of this cycle is difficult, urologic recognition and treatment can have a positive effect. Five cases are presented that demonstrate the cyclical features of Hinman syndrome.
