ABSTRACT
Micturating dysfunctions with urinary retention and with diurnal and nocturnal enuresis in children sometimes have a psychogenic genesis. They can appear during the period of development of complete control of micturition. A late recognition of this condition makes the prognosis worse, since high pressure and infections in the urinary tract can cause end-stage renal failure. Here we describe a dramatic case of a 3 year-old boy affected by a psychogenic urine and faecal retention with recurrent pyelonephritis, that was favourably treated for five years by an integrated approach involving clinicians, psychologist, educational and social operators and adoptive parents.
