BACKGROUND Sickle-cell anaemia (SCA) is the most common inherited haemoglobinopathy affecting the Negroid race. Renal complications such as enuresis can occur during childhood. Reports show that children and adolescents with SCA may be at a higher risk of nocturnal enuresis than their counterparts with normal haemoglobin genotype. AIMS The study aims to determine the prevalence of nocturnal e...

BACKGROUND Enuresis (9% at age 9.5) negatively affects children's psychosocial status. Clinically-diagnosed enuresis (2% at the age) is associated with hyperactivity-inattention, and common neural bases have been postulated to underlie this association. It is, however, unclear whether this association is applicable to enuresis overall among the general population of early adolescents when consi...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and nocturnal enuresis are common disorders with extensive psychosocial suffering in affected children, and healthcare burden on parents. Whether the childhood psychological disorders and nocturnal enuresis are factors contributing to ADHD have not been clearly established.

This paper theoretically elaborates on enuresis nocturnae treatment in children with cerebral palsy. We have described definitions and types of enuresis in the introduction,\and then we have presented enuresis prevalence in common population and CP children to argue that CP children have much higher prevalence of enuresis in comparison to ordinary children. Following to this, we have shown ethy...

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent psychiatric disorder in children; perhaps relationship between ADHD and enuresis is still unknown.

The first mechanism is more related to isolated nocturnal...

OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that the presence of nocturnal enuresis is related to the severity of sleep apnea, we examined the relation between the Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI, apneas plus hypopneas per hour of sleep) and the presence and severity of enuresis. STUDY DESIGN All children 4 years of age and older who were referred to our sleep center for suspected sleep disordered b...
