title: The uroradiographic evaluation of the enuretic child.
abstract: The proper evaluation of the enuretic child is controversial. A standardized evaluation was devised to decrease the number of examinations done based on the extant literature. During a 5-year period 138 children were examined uroradiographically. Of these patients 21 were found to have a significant anatomic abnormality. These abnormalities were found in children with either a history of a urinary tract infection, infected urine at the time of examination or obstructive signs or symptoms. Based on these findings a simple flow sheet for the evaluation of enuretic children is presented.
