Background “Enuresis “ also known as bedwetting or night-time incontinence is the inability to control urination during sleep [1,2]. Mono-symptomatic enuresis (MNE) is the only night-time incontinence and “not mono-symptomatic enuresis” (NMNE) is also the daytime urinary disorders. Bedwetting is a disorder that affects the development of children personality and interferes with social relations...

European and North American studies show that the prevalence of autistic disorder is inccreasing. This study was performed to identify the prevalence of autistic disorder in Bahrain, and determine some of the demographic and family characteristics. Using a case-control design, 100 children who received a diagnosis of autistic disorder according to DSM-IV-TR during the period 2000-2010 were sele...

Introduction: Sleep disorder caused by adenotonsillar hypertrophy has been implicated as a cause of primary and secondary nocturnal enuresis in children.  This study was conducted to investigate the effect of adenotonsillectomy on enuresis in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy.  Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in Hamadan City in Western Iran, from Ap...

OBJECTIVE To investigate behavioral factors for predicting severity of nocturnal enuresis and compare response rates in different compliance groups of behavioral interventions. METHODS Three hundred eleven children diagnosed with nocturnal enuresis were enrolled. This study was conducted at Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated to the Capital Medical University from September 2016 to Decembe...

Nocturnal enuresis in children can at times be alleviated or resolved completely with surgery on the upper airway. We present a report of a 7-year-old boy in whom nocturnal enuresis began immediately after reconstructive surgery of the pharynx that caused upper airway obstruction. Enuresis diminished immediately and stopped following an adenoidectomy but resumed secondary to adenoid regrowth af...

The authors aimed to characterize developmental trajectories to nighttime continence by applying two latent class models-longitudinal latent class analysis (LLCA) and latent class growth analysis (LCGA)-to data on nighttime bed-wetting from a population-based birth cohort, the Medical Research Council 1946 National Survey of Health and Development cohort. Data on a binary outcome (wetting in th...

The prevalence of nocturnal enuresis (wet at least two nights a week) was investigated in children, aged 8, who were being followed up as part of a prospective cohort study. There were 175 children with homozygous sickle cell disease, 106 with sickle cell haemoglobin C disease, and 150 controls with a normal haemoglobin genotype. In homozygous sickle cell disease, 48 boys (52%) and 31 girls (38...

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...

INTRODUCTION Although literature on childhood nocturnal enuresis and its persistence into adulthood is abundant, recent onset nocturnal enuresis in adults is a poorly studied symptom. OBJECTIVE To determine the significance of recent onset nocturnal enuresis in adult males in relation to lower urinary tract pathology, and its treatment. METHODS All men with recent onset nocturnal enuresis a...
