Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Secondary to Mass Lesion of the Brain: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to neurologic disorders are well-established, but intracranial mass lesions are rare causes of LUTS with very few case reports described in the literature. We present a 28-year old man with urinary urgency, frequency and incontinence which were revealed to be secondary to a large thrombosed intracranial aneurysm. Any unusual clinical presentations of LUTS such as new onset neurologic symptoms need to be explored to rule out potentially treatable causes.
