Urinary frequency syndrome in children, often caused by viral infections or stress, is more common than thought. Most cases resolve on their own, avoiding the need for invasive tests.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Extraordinary urinary frequency syndrome (EUFS) in children is a recognized but potentially underdiagnosed condition.
  • Etiologies can be diverse, impacting pediatric quality of life and necessitating accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a cohort of children diagnosed with EUFS.
  • To identify potential causes and establish a case definition for EUFS.
  • To review existing literature and assess the prevalence and management of this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 31 children with EUFS.
  • Clinical data review to identify presenting symptoms and potential etiologies.
  • Literature review on urinary frequency syndrome in pediatric populations.

Main Results:

  • Identified viral cystitis-urethritis, stress, and hypercalciuria as potential causes in the studied cohort.
  • Provided a case definition for EUFS.
  • Literature review suggests the condition is more common than previously appreciated.

Conclusions:

  • EUFS is likely underdiagnosed in the pediatric population.
  • The condition is typically self-limiting.
  • Invasive diagnostic imaging is generally not required for typical presentations of EUFS.
