Abstract

Acute urinary retention developed in 2 patients with a history of prostate cancer. Urodynamic evaluation revealed autonomic dysfunction, which contrasted with a prior urodynamic study, indicating a possible spinal lesion. Radiographic evaluation led to early diagnosis and treatment of spinal cord compression from metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. We discuss the diagnostic role of urodynamics in such cases.
