A 20-YEAR-OLD WOMAN REPORTED ABOUT GIGGLE INCONTINENCE DESPITE ANTIMUSCARINIC THERAPY. THEREFORE WE INJECTED BOTULINUM TOXIN A INTO THE DETRUSOR MUSCLE. THE EFFECT OF BOTULINUM TOXIN A APPEARED ABOUT 1 WEEK AFTER INJECTION AND NO MORE LEAKAGE WAS OBSERVED
EVEN DURING VIGOROUS LAUGHTER. A CONTROL UROFLOWMETRY SHOWED A GOOD VOIDING RATE WITHOUT ANY RESIDUAL VOLUME. BOTULINUM TOXIN A MIGHT BE AN ALTERNATIVE FOR PATIENTS WITH GIGGLE INCONTINENCE AFTER UNSUCCESSFUL ANTIMUSCARINIC TREATMENT.
