ABSTRACT

Background: Fowler’s syndrome is a rare phenomenon mainly in young women in reproductive age with abnormal, repeated contractions in the external urethral sphincter without a neurological disease.
Clinical case: 51-year-old woman with pelvic organ prolapse, symptoms of vaginal bulge and difficult micturition. A videourodynamic study was done showing intermittent waveform, detrusor hypoactivity and uncoordinated micturition without incontinence, suggestive of Fowler’s syndrome. The patient underwent therapy for sphincter relaxation and sacral neuromodulation with good response. In the follow up with clinical improvement, referring being satisfied after micturition.
Casos clínicos: Micturition is a complex process that needs integrity of the lower urinary tract and synergy between this and the central nervous system, autonomous and somatic. Failure in any of these structures can result in an obstructive pattern.
