Introduction:Urinary incontinence, impacting more women than men, poses significant health-related challenges. Understanding incontinence in adolescents remains limited, creating unique diagnostic challenges, particularly cases resembling diarrhea in young girls. Case: A 12-year-old girl presented with prolonged loose stools resembling acute gastroenteritis, leading to hospitalizations. Despite treatments, her condition persisted, revealing a complex diagnostic challenge. Suspected cholera transformed into a dilemma when a stool sample turned out to be urine, prompting inquiries into incontinence type and possible fistulas. A multidisciplinary approach involving Pediatrics, Urology, Gynecology, and Psychiatry was crucial. Diagnosis indicated overactive bladder, treated with urotherapy and psychiatric evaluation, eventually unveiling underlying an early psychotic episode. Conclusion:This case highlights the importance of a holistic diagnostic approach in pediatric cases. It underscores the intricate interplay between physical and mental health, emphasizing the need for multidisciplinary collaboration and the consideration of mental health in adolescent care.
