We report a case of MRS with urodynamic follow-up. A 29-year-old man developed fever and headache, and after 7 days, he developed sudden urinary retention. Neurological examination indicated stiff neck, hyper-reflexes of the lower extremities. Cerebrospinal fluid examination showed mononuclear leucocytosis, increased protein level. Myelin basic protein was absent. MRI of the brain and spinal cord were normal. Cystometrography revealed an atonic bladder. The diagnosis was MRS. After 11 days of hospital day, his symptoms reduced rapidly, and on the 12th day, cystometrography revealed normal pattern. In mild cases, the symptoms reduced and the urodynamic examination improved rapidly. Although MRS is a rare symptom, its urodynamic assessment is important.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2017-220903","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,19]],"date-time":"2017-07-19T08:50:16Z","timestamp":1500454216000},"page":"bcr-2017-220903","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Cystometrography of meningitis-retention syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2017","author":[{"given":"Yuji","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Gifu Municipal Hospital, Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazuo","family":"Satomi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Gifu Municipal Hospital, Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082802000070000_2017.jul19_1.bcr-2017-220903.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1002\/nau.22279","article-title":"\u2018Meningitis-retention syndrome\u2019: a review","volume":"32","author":"Sakakibara","year":"2013","journal-title":"Neurourol Urodyn"},{"key":"2025082802000070000_2017.jul19_1.bcr-2017-220903.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1103","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415-006-0189-9","article-title":"Acute urinary retention due to benign inflammatory nervous diseases","volume":"253","author":"Sakakibara","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Neurol"},{"key":"2025082802000070000_2017.jul19_1.bcr-2017-220903.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415-005-0897-6"},{"key":"2025082802000070000_2017.jul19_1.bcr-2017-220903.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"932","DOI":"10.1590\/S1807-59322009000900017","article-title":"Unusual combination of reversible splenial lesion and meningitis-retention syndrome in aseptic meningomyelitis","volume":"64","author":"Tascilar","year":"2009","journal-title":"Clinics"},{"key":"2025082802000070000_2017.jul19_1.bcr-2017-220903.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1329","DOI":"10.2169\/internalmedicine.50.4747","article-title":"Meningitis-retention syndrome: first case of urodynamic follow-up","volume":"50","author":"Tateno","year":"2011","journal-title":"Intern Med"},{"key":"2025082802000070000_2017.jul19_1.bcr-2017-220903.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"651","DOI":"10.1038\/sc.2008.119","article-title":"The autonomic nervous system in patients with spinal cord lesion","volume":"46","author":"Wyndaele","year":"2008","journal-title":"Spinal Cord"},{"key":"2025082802000070000_2017.jul19_1.bcr-2017-220903.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrn2401"},{"key":"2025082802000070000_2017.jul19_1.bcr-2017-220903.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"339","DOI":"10.1002\/nau.20953","article-title":"Pathogenesis of reduced or increased bladder sensation","volume":"30","author":"Tsunoyama","year":"2011","journal-title":"Neurourol Urodyn"}],"container-title":["BMJ Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2017-220903","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,28]],"date-time":"2025-08-28T09:00:10Z","timestamp":1756371610000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/casereports.bmj.com\/lookup\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2017-220903"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,19]]},"references-count":8,"alternative-id":["10.1136\/bcr-2017-220903"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/bcr-2017-220903","relation":{},"ISSN":["1757-790X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1757-790X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,19]]}}}
