A 6-year-old girl, with urinary incontinence for the past 3 years, showed an overactie bladder and detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) in urodynamic study.
An epileptic focus in the right occipital area, as well as a large arachnoid cyst in the left middle cranial fossa was revealed by EEG and intracranial CT.
After surgery for the arachnoid cyst, urinary incontinence was improved with disappearance of the epileptic focus in EEG, and an alteration of overactive bladder into normoactive one and improvement of DSD were observed in urodynamic study.
It was considered that the urinary incontinence of this case might be associated with the ectopic epileptic focus due to the arachnoid cyst.
