title: [Acquisition of bladder control in children].
abstract: Urinary control in Child occurs during the first five years of life; the first step is daytime control, quickly followed by nocturnal dryness. The bladder is mature when the child is able to initiate micturition at any degree of bladder filing and to differ or inhibit voiding at anytime. Micturition control depends on central nervous system maturation but training by parents is also important. Voiding dysfunction may occur if those mechanisms fail or are delayed: different pathologic patterns can be seen, such as daytime incontinence and enuresis or nonneurogenic neurogenic bladder if dyssynergia is associated.
