Chronic perineal pain and lower urinary tract dysfunction--a clinical feature of the "Gulf War syndrome"?

Abstract:

:A Persian Gulf War veteran presented to the University Neuro-Urology service for management of severe chronic perineal pain. The overall physical and neurological exam was unremarkable. However, the rectal exam and the urodynamic study revealed a severe pelvic floor dysfunction. A neuro-behavioral approach is recommended and discussed.
