Sumario:Fowler's syndrome (FS) is a condition in which females face chronic urinary retention with abnormal electromyography (EMG) findings in the absence of structural anomalies. A sacral neuromodulation (SNM) device that restores urinary discharge is often used for treatment. It is advised to turn the device off during pregnancy. This is a case report of a 37-year-old pregnant female suffering from FS. The patient was on SNM and underwent two uneventful pregnancies despite the device being kept on throughout both pregnancies. There were no complications, and a healthy term baby was born on both occasions.
