The primary autonomic failure is a degenerative disease of the nervous system, of unknown etiology. Among the various possible clinical manifestations by impairment of the autonomic nervous system, highlight the genito–urinary dysfunction that is often over looked. The authors present a case of a woman 67 years diagnosed with primary autonomic failure, whose neurogenic bladder was diagnosed late. The aim of this work is to reflect on the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
