A 34-year-old man presented with sudden voiding dysfunction and lower limb paraplegia. As a central nervous system disorder was suspected, he was referred to the neurology department. Under the diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis, steroid pulse therapy was initiated. To ensure the effect of this therapy, the patient was referred back for urodynamic testing. Urodynamic testing indicated that the urethral sphincter was not relaxed and could not void. Due to the sudden appearance of repeated and refractory opisthotonus, tetanus was strongly suspected. After administration of antibiotics and tetanus immune globulin, those symptoms disappeared. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
