Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We describe the case of a 73-year-old woman with a history of chronic low back pain and 2 previous lumbar fusions who presented with complaints of worsening back and leg pain. Having previously undergone multiple interventions, physical therapy, and oral analgesics with limited pain relief, the patient opted for endoscopic lysis of adhesions for severe scarring of the epidural space. Subsequently, the patient developed a neurogenic bladder with urinary retention. Three years later, she experienced resolution of the neurogenic bladder symptoms that coincided with the use of the antibiotic nitrofurantoin. Upon discontinuation of the antibiotic, the patient noted that she was unable to void spontaneously. With reinstitution of nitrofurantoin, the patient was once again able to void effectively and has been maintained on nitrofurantoin for >3 years. |
