A Man With Urinary Retention by Fecaloma: A Case Report
,
Abstract
Fecaloma is a very hard stool often located in the rectum of the sigmoid colon. A 63-year-old man with abdominal distention and urinary retention was admitted to an emergency department. Abdominal CT scans showed a urinary bladder displaced by fecaloma. Fecaloma is an infrequent cause of acute urinary retention, especially in bedridden patients with underlying diseases.
