In 1988 a syndrome of isolated urinary retention in young women that is associated with electromyographic abnormality of the striated urethral sphincter was described. It was hypothesised that urinary retention resulted from a failure of sphincter relaxation. The electromyographic abnormality causes overactivity of the muscle and may induce changes of work hypertrophy. If the hypothesis that the electromyographic abnormality is the cause of urinary retention is correct, we would expect the urethral sphincter to be enlarged and the urethral pressure profile to be increased in these women. We evaluated the role of static urethral pressure profilometry and transvaginal ultrasound in women in urinary retention.
