چکیده
This article reviews 35 children between the ages of 3 1/2 and 11 years who have had symptoms of upper airway obstruction and enuresis. Twenty-eight patients had primary enuresis, and 7 had secondary enuresis. Removal of upper airway obstruction by surgical intervention led to a significant decrease or complete cure of nocturnal enuresis in 26 patients. Four children were studied with polysomnographic tracings in relationship to their enuresis.
