Enuresis following masturbation in a mentally retarded adolescent.
An unusual presentation of enuresis is described. A mentally retarded adolescent male with normal bladder function wet his bed while awake following masturbation. Initially, this sequence was not apparent to the parents or physicians. A multidisciplinary approach to the symptom helped to define and focus on the circumstances of the symptom itself, allowing for successful intervention.
