AB  - Patients with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-associated 
      myelopathy (HAM) sometimes have accompanying voiding disturbances. We performed 
      clinical surveys and urodynamic examinations on 25 untreated patients with HAM. 
      Although 4 cases (16%) were entirely aware of urinary symptoms, the onset of 
      urinary symptoms preceded other pyramidal symptoms in 6 cases (24%). All cases 
      suffered from dysuria. The cause of dysuria was thought mainly to be detrusor 
      external sphincter dyssynergia, but in some cases an underactive detrusor and 
      poor opening of the bladder neck at voiding were also the causes of dysuria. 
      There was a tendency for urinary dysfunction to become worse as the primary 
      disease progresses. Patients with HAM must be carefully followed up by urologists 
      in order to prevent deterioration of the urinary tract.
