Giant Atonic Bladder (4000 mL) in the Postpartum Period: A Case Report
This case report stands out due to the extraordinary bladder volume and protracted course, providing a unique perspective on the spectrum of PUR severity. While routine postpartum discharge protocols rely on spontaneous voiding, this case emphasizes the importance of thorough subjective assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) for early recognition of PUR to prevent such extreme presentations.
