Abstract:
Adult onset enuresis accompanied by obstructive sleep apnea has been reported rarely. A female patient was referred to our clinic with complaints of of a 15-year history of loud snoring and sleep apnea as well as enuresis, which was treated successfully with imipramine and acetazolamide. The mechanism of enuresis and its relationship to upper airway obstruction are reviewed here with reference to the findings of polysomnography and sleep cystometry.
