Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE) is an autoimmune disease that can involvemany or-gans and systems. Bladder  involvement  and symptoms  are  rare. In SLE mucosal involve-ment cause cystitis and with neurological in-volvement causing obstruction and neuroge-nic bladder. We report the patient who follo-wed for SLE about 12 years, irregular usage of corticosteroids, was developing  acute urinary retention 2 months 3 times, obstruction iden-tified  with pressure-flow  study, treated with a transurethral catheter and intensive corticoste-roid therapy.
