[Infravesical obstructive uropathy secondary to extreme vulval atrophy].

Lower urinary tract obstruction in women is an uncommon condition resulting from multiple either organic or functional disorders. This paper contributes one case of obstructive uropathy secondary to presence of almost complete vulvar synechia due to extreme genital atrophy, a rare entity that may appear in postmenopausal women. Partial and incomplete vulvar fusion usually occurs in significant postmenopausal atrophies, sometimes associated to urethral meatus stricture; this, however, has no significant repercussion on urination dynamics. No other comparable case was found in the reviewed literature.
