title: Ultrasound in acute urinary retention by mechanical obstruction in woman.
abstract: We referred our experience about ultrasound in the diagnosis of the acute urinary retention by mechanical obstruction in woman. We believe ultrasound has a very important role in imaging of the lower urinary tract because it simplicity and no jonizing radiation used. Anatomical pathologies of the bladder neck and urethra can be detected and documented in order to make the right therapy decision.
