- Abstract
Catatonia was first introduced by Karl Kahlbaum at 1874. Catatonia is a syndrome that includes catalepsy, waxy flexibility, stupor, negativism, mutism, and echolalia. At first, it was linked with just schizophrenia for many years but it is currently known that this disorder may occur with other medical conditions and psychiatric disorders especially mood disorders. Several complications especially pulmonary, genitourinary, gastrointestinal may occur with catatonia. Here, we aimed to report a case of urinary retention associated with catatonia and treated with ECT and benzodiazepine. As a result, urinary retention and globe vesicale should be considered in patients presented with catatonia and it should be treated urgently.
