title: Cytomegalovirus-induced haemorrhagic cystitis in a patient with neurogenic bladder.
abstract: We report a case of severe cytomegalovirus induced haemorrhagic cystitis associated with neurogenic urinary bladder in a patient suffering from anaplastic spinal ependymoma. The diagnosis was established by bladder biopsy and immunohistochemical study. Haematuria resolved after ganciclovir therapy. Previous reports are reviewed.
