A 12-month-old female presented to the pediatric emergency department with constipation associated with urinary retention. This visit was one of several for constipation over the course of several weeks. She had been treated for functional constipation with dietary changes and an osmotic agent without relief and required one hospitalization for a bowel clean out. It was during her second admission, where she required frequent bladder catheterizations for urinary retention, that a diagnostic study was done which revealed the correct diagnosis.
