title: [Primary enuresis: 144 cases (clinico-statistical observations and therapeutic considerations].
abstract: Of 144 cases of enuresis we have studied the distribution according with the age in which the subjects have been treated by a doctor for a first consultation, the clinical form (only night, only day, mixed), the sex. We have examined the familiarity, the associated pathology (encopresis, anorexy), the spontaneous evolution and after therapy. Authors have followed a therapeutic scheme that provides for "conditio sine qua non" a practice in the child to reduce, until suspension, the swallowing of liquids during and after the evening meal and in the previous hours, for the whole period of treatment. Cures employed: a preparation with atrapine, ephedrine (Noxenur) and a preparation of dry extract of rear hypophysis (Disipidin), given in series. Another group of subjects has been treated with mipramine. Authors have reached satisfying results by these means, they employ in any case of enuresis on condition to be over 7 years old, because, at this age, there is a more effective and constant collaboration by the subject. Presented the results of EEG and EMG, too.
