Resumen

YOUNG, Pablo et al. Interstitial cystitis: A challenge for the clinician. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2010, vol.70, n.4, pp.364-366. ISSN 0025-7680.

Interstitial cystitis is characterized by over 6 months of chronic pain, pressure and discomfort felt in the lower pelvis or bladder. It is often relieved with voiding, along with daytime frequency and nocturia in the absence of an urinary tract infection. The disorder can be divided clinically into two groups -ulcerative and non-ulcerative- based on cystoscopic findings and response to treatment. Management follows an approach of applying the least invasive therapy that affords sufficient relief of symptoms. We report a case of a patient with interstitial cystitis. The diagnosis was performed by symptoms and lesion in the cystoscopy and excellent response to amitriptyline.

Palabras clave : Interstitial cystitis; Chronic pelvis pain; Chronic cystitis; Bladder pain syndrome.
