Abstract:
Acute urinary retention in aseptic meningitis is rarely encountered, and the diagnosis of aseptic meningitis may be less than straightforward, because its symptoms and neurological signs are occasionally mild or absent. We report a case in which acute urinary retention provided an appropriate indication for the diagnosis of aseptic meningitis as the cause of an undiagnosed fever.
