Sažetak
Introduction: Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) can be defined as urinary urgency, usually accompanied by increased daytime frequency and/or nocturia, with or without urinary incontinence in the absence of urinary tract infection or other detectable diseases. OAB occurs because of the involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle. The exact cause of OAB is unknown but it can occur in association with neurological and other conditions that affect bladder function. Case report: This case describes a 70-year-old female patient that presented in November of 2017 with symptoms of urgency and frequency lasting for three years. In 1994, she underwent hysterectomy with adnexectomy and brachytherapy for endometrial cancer. In 2017, a urodynamic study was conducted with the conclusion of OAB, probably associated with post-radiation cystitis. In July 2020, the patient underwent surgery for intravesical application of Botox, due to symptoms of OAB. In December 2020, she reported for a follow-up. According to the bladder diary, she had no more urgency with an increased frequency of urination, the capacity of the bladder was 80 ml and one episode of nocturia has been reported. The urodynamic study was repeated 6 months after the surgery, indicating a hypersensitive hypocontractile bladder of reduced maximum cystometric capacity (MCC), but without detrusor overactivity. Conclusion: Botox can be beneficial in improvement in symptoms and quality of life in women who have OAB and have not responded to or could not tolerate other treatments.
