Acute urinary retention is a rare occurrence in women necessitating further investigation. Potential underlying causes may be broadly classified into obstructive, neurological, pharmacological, and psychogenic categories.<jats:italic> Case<\/jats:italic>. A 36-year-old nulliparous female presented to the Emergency Department with a two-day history of acute urinary retention. Point-of-care ultrasonography and CT scan imaging confirmed the presence of a large uterine mass causing compression of the bladder. The acute retention was relieved with urethral catheterization. A Uterine leiomyoma was confirmed on histology after hysterectomy.<jats:italic> Discussion<\/jats:italic>. Once the acute urinary retention has been relieved by insertion of a urethral catheter, the underlying cause of the obstruction must be determined. Although uterine leiomyoma is a fairly common finding in the general population, it is an extremely rare cause of acute urinary retention in women with just a handful of reported cases in the literature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/4598314","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,16]],"date-time":"2017-08-16T17:03:59Z","timestamp":1502903039000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Case of Female Acute Urinary Retention Presenting to the ED"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"given":"Kylen","family":"Swartzberg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital and University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Health Sciences, Johannesburg, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9069-3282","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ahmed","family":"Adam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Helen Joseph Hospital, Johannesburg, South Africa"},{"name":"Department of Paediatric Urology, Rahima Moosa Mother & Child Hospital, Johannesburg, South Africa"},{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Feroza","family":"Motara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital and University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Health Sciences, Johannesburg, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3306-7389","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Abdullah E.","family":"Laher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital and University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Health Sciences, Johannesburg, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00365598709180286"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12468-016-0030-0"},{"issue":"5","key":"3","first-page":"384","volume":"57","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Reproductive Medicine"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/539365"},{"key":"5","first-page":"131","volume":"49","year":"2004","journal-title":"Journal of Reproductive Medicine"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7860\/JCDR\/2016\/17028.7573"},{"issue":"1","key":"7","first-page":"62","volume":"36","year":"2009","journal-title":"Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics and Gynecology"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.2002.21.10.1165"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00192-013-2158-z"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00192-007-0445-2"},{"key":"11","first-page":"182","volume":"31","year":"2012","journal-title":"Continuous Medical Education"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-1591.65396"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12301-010-0002-y"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1464-410X.2006.06009.x"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrurol.2013.277"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0167-4943(99)00051-5"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nau.20321"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Emergency Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criem\/2017\/4598314.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criem\/2017\/4598314.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criem\/2017\/4598314.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,16]],"date-time":"2017-08-16T17:04:00Z","timestamp":1502903040000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criem\/2017\/4598314\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017]]},"references-count":17,"alternative-id":["4598314","4598314"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2017\/4598314","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-648X","2090-6498"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-648X","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6498","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017]]}}}
