[Unstable bladder and Sjögren syndrome. Clinical case]. / Vescica instabile e morbo di Sjogren. Caso clinico.

ABSTRACT

A female patient developed severe detrusor instability years after a diagnosis of Sjogren syndrome. A common etiology could be possible if an association with viral demyelinization in Sjogren patients is confirmed. Vaginal Sicca syndrome was present and responded to a topical androgen-oestriol association with definite cytologic improvement. Anticholinergics were tolerated and moderately effective. Low initial dose were slowly increased (over three months) to avoid excessive mouth dryness and avoid gastrooesophageal symptoms.
