Bladder neck obstruction in the female.
Bladder neck dysfunction is a rare cause of obstruction in women. The symptoms are nonspecific and diagnosis relies on video-urodynamic evaluation. In this case study, a woman presented with urinary retention, recurring urinary tract infections, and bilateral hydronephrosis, in whom video-urodynamics revealed bladder neck obstruction. Her clinical presentation, as well as the pertinent literature on the diagnosis and treatment of bladder neck obstruction in women, are reviewed.
