Abstract :Urofacial syndrome (US) or Ochoa syndrome is a syndrome characterized by presence of neurogenic bladder (NB) in absence of a neurological abnormality and mechanical obstruction, as well as by a characteristic facial appearance. As the micturition/urine storage center, laughing and crying centers and origin of the facial nerve are in close proximity in the reticular formation, crying facial expression when laughing and clinical presentation of NB are observed. In this manuscript a case who presented with incontinence, was noticed to have crying facial expression when laughing and, unfortunately, developed chronic renal failure (CRF) due to NB is reported.Keywords : Incontinence, Urofacial syndrome, İnkontinans, Ürofasiyal sendrom
