Abstract
We encountered a rare patient with Hunter's syndrome who exhibited uri nary retention as a result of a neurogenic bladder, uninhibited detrus or contractions, and detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia. Neurological find ings were consistent with cervical myelopathy and cervical MR imaging showed very narrow segments at the cord level C2-4. We speculate that this Hunter's syndrome patient has cervical myelopathy and that this n eurological dysfunction causes the neurogenic bladder.
