[Primary enuresis. Presentation of a series of 93 cases]

The present study was conducted at the outpatient service of Urology. It comprised 93 patients diagnosed as having primary enuresis exclusively. All patients with underlying urological or extraurological conditions were excluded from the study. All the available material on this subject indicate that primary enuresis may be a clinical manifestation of delayed maturation of control of micturition at the level of the CNS. It is important to consider the family history, especially the paternal. Other factors; i.e., social, school, environment, etc., may be relatively important in the presentation of primary enuresis. All the patients in this series received the same treatment. The dose was adjusted according to patient age and sex. The results and the adverse effects of treatment are presented.
