A case of urination apraxia: phenomenology of the syndrome and differential diagnosis with other forms of post-stroke cortical dysuria

We described the clinical features of urination apraxia as one of post-stroke cortical neurogenic disturbances of bladder function. Neurological and urological symptoms and the data of urodynamic and neurophysiological studies in a patient with urination apraxia resulting from the right-hemispheric lesion in the projection of cingulate gyrus are demonstrated. The differential diagnosis was carried out with the case of motor detrusor atony after stroke in the right temporal lobe and the insula, and with the case of imperative urination after stroke in the left frontal lobe in the projection of cingulate gyrus.
