PREVALENCE OF DIURNAL VOIDING SYMPTOMS AND DIFFICULT AROUSAL FROM SLEEP IN CHILDREN WITH NOCTURNAL ENURESIS

Abstract

DVSs accompany NE in two-thirds of patients but can be missed during a cursory history. Difficult sleep arousal seems to have a major role in primary mono NE, and detrusor instability in secondary NE + DVSs. In patients with NE a history of frequent nocturia, easy sleep arousal, UTI, encopresis, psychosocial learning problems or family history of UTI and DVSs should raise the suspicion for associated undisclosed DVSs.
