Abstract

Neurogenic bladder in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been considered to occur rarely. Myelopathy, cyclophosphamide treatment, vasculitis have been implicated as the causes of the bladder pathology in patients with SLE. In this report, we describe a 46-year- old female with SLE who simultaneously combined with the neurogenic bladder. The diagnosis of neurogenic bladder, attributed to peripheral neuropathy, was made on the basis of cystometrography and clinical symptom. Steroid therapy couldn't improve the clinical manifestation of neurogenic bladder despite the amelioration of the other lupus symptom.

Keywords Systemic lupus erythematosus, Neurogenic bladder
