Abstract:

We report a case of neurogenic bladder with chronic urinary retention in patient with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) successfully treated with Low Intensity Shockwaves (Li-ESWT). A 31-year-old female was referred to our urological office with chronic urinary tract infection due to neurogenic bladder with high residual urine volume. As complication a renal abscess formation was detected. As part of a multimodal approach Li-ESWT of the urinary bladder (off-label use) was administered and effectively reduced post-void residual urine volume. Li-ESWT can safely and effectively reduce post-void residual volume in patients with neurogenic bladder due to MS.
