title: [Enuresis and benign micturition disorders in childhood. I. Diagnosis and management].
abstract: Bedwetting is present in 5 to 7% of children aged 7 to 8 years. The history of the disorder and the examination of the child are of main importance. This is usually the first step to identify nocturnal enuresis, bladder or urethral instability and other voiding dysfunctions. Therapeutic failure is often related to an inadequate analysis of the disorder. For nocturnal enuresis, the best results are obtained with alarms and/or desmopressine; bladder instability usually requires oxybutinine chlorydrate and urethral instability can be treated with biofeedback therapy. The management of other voiding dysfunctions depends on urodynamic assessment.
