Objectives. Nocturnal enuresis is a common pediatric problem, the etiology of which is unclear. In the present study, vitamin B(12) and folate levels were measured in children with nocturnal enuresis and compared with those in healthy control group children to investigate whether there was any relation with enuresis and neurogenic maturation as a first time in the literature. Methods. In this c...

The search was conducted using the search term ‘Enuresis’, and was limited to ‘Clinical Trials’, ‘Randomized Controlled Trials’ and ‘MetaAnalyses’. In addition, relevant systematic reviews ...

The pathophysiological nature of the monosymptomatic primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) in children is still the unresolved problem. The most hypotheses of pathogenesis of nocturnal enuresis are limited within anatomical, biochemical and physiological regulation of the urinary control. Based on our own observations as well as the data reported in the literature, we have concluded that in addition...

The case of an 8 year old boy with both nocturnal enuresis and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is presented. Diagnosis of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus was based on a typical medical history, the characteristic result of a fluid restriction test, the lack of an effect of 1-desamino-8-D-arginine (DDAVP) on both urine osmolality and plasma coagulation factors and, finally, the detection of a hemi...

Background: co-occurrence of oral language disorders and enuresis in children. Aim: to identify and analyze the relationship between instances of oral language disorders and enuresis in children. Method: clinical, quantitative and qualitative study, with a descriptive/interpretative outline, presented through two distinct situations. "Situation 1" refers to a group of 120 children between 3:0 a...

PURPOSE The use of desmopressin in patients with primary nocturnal enuresis is based on the hypothesis of a nocturnal lack of endogenous arginine vasopressin. However, in addition to the kidney, other targets of desmopressin are known. Therefore, we examined whether the administration of desmopressin influences central nervous function in children with primary nocturnal enuresis. MATERIALS AN...

INTRODUCTION Worldwide, around 10% of 6–7-yearolds suffer from enuresis. Enuresis is therefore highly prevalent, but its impact is often underestimated. Training for family doctors rarely includes specific guidance on enuresis, and the default approach is often to wait for spontaneous resolution. Despite comprehensive enuresis guidelines in specialist journals for secondary and tertiary care, v...
