OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of enuresis in primary school children in Iran and to determine the factors associated with this disorder. METHODS A cross-sectional time-ordered study was performed at the Faculty of Medicine, Isfahan Medical University, Isfahan, Iran from September 2005 to January 2006. A total of 4500 self-administered questionnaires were distributed to parents of child...

Nocturnal enuresis was a symptom of childhood obstructive sleep apnoea, OSAS. We reported two children with secondary nocturnal enuresis which disappeared after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for proven OSAS. Pathogenesis of secondary nocturnal enuresis in OSAS was discussed.

BACKGROUND The nocturnal enuresis is one of the most common complaints of childhood. Upper airway obstruction and nocturnal snoring affect the nocturnal enuresis in children. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of breathing exercises on the nocturnal enuresis in the children with the sleep-disordered breathing. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was conducted in yea...

conclusions there is no significant difference between monotherapy with desmopressin, imipramine or oxybutynin in children with enuresis. however, oxybutynin showed a higher response rate and a lower relapse rate compared to other medications. more clinical trials with a larger sample size are needed to clarify these uncertainties. results children in the oxybutynin group showed a slightly high...

Enuresis, particularly in children during sleep, can be a debilitating condition, affecting the quality of life of the child and his or her family. The pathophysiology of nocturnal enuresis, though not clear, revolves around the inter-related mechanisms of overactive bladder, excessive nocturnal urine production, and sleep fragmentation. The first mechanism is more related to isolated nocturnal...

INTRODUCTION In this study, we investigated the effects of treatment with a transurethral incision (TUI) for congenital urethral stenosis, which was accompanied by diurnal and nocturnal enuresis. METHODS We recruited 21 young males who presented to our department for the treatment of diurnal and nocturnal enuresis from January 2010 to March 2014. All patients underwent TUI due to urethral str...

Primary nocturnal enuresis. This is the recurrent involuntary passage of urine during sleep by a child aged 5 years or older, who has never achieved consistent night-time dryness. This may further be subdivided into: Primary nocturnal enuresis without daytime symptoms: children who have enuresis only at night. Primary nocturnal enuresis with daytime symptoms: those who also have daytime symptom...

Nocturnal urinary continence is dependent on 3 factors: 1) nocturnal urine production, 2) nocturnal bladder function and 3) sleep and arousal mechanisms. Any child will suffer from nocturnal enuresis if more urine is produced than can be contained in the bladder or if the detrusor is hyperactive, provided that he or she is not awakened by the imminent bladder contraction. Urine production is re...

A significant relationship between nocturnal enuresis and motility is demonstrated in a 35 year old male patient who had chronic nocturnal enuresis. After further treatment this relationship disappeared and the enuresis progressively diminished.
