Acute Urinary Retention in a 47-month-old Girl Caused by the Giant Fecaloma.
[hirschsprung disease]
We
present
a
case
of
a
47
-
month
-old
female
suffering
from
acute
urinary
bladder
neck
obstruction
and
bilateral
hydronephrosis
secondary
to
a
fecaloma
.
Fecaloma
is
defined
as
an
accumulation
of
inspissated
feces
in
the
colon
or
rectum
giving
the
appearance
of
an
abdominal
mass
.
A
fecaloma
can
be
developed
by
diverse
causes
and
the
causes
of
the
fecaloma
in
this
case
were
septum
reformation
after
the
Duhamel
procedure
and
long
-term
constipation
.
Chronic
constipation
is
very
common
at
outpatient
clinic
.
However
,
acute
urinary
retention
and
voiding
difficulty
caused
by
fecaloma
in
the
giant
Duhamel
pouch
has
never
been
reported
in
Korea
.
We
would
like
to
present
our
case
with
acute
urinary
retention
due
to
a
fecaloma
and
suggest
that
fecaloma
might
be
considered
as
one
of
the
causes
for
acute
urinary
retention
,
especially
in
cases
with
previous
Duhamel
operation
for
repair
of
Hischsprung
disease
.
