[Routine urodynamic studies is not indicated in children with enuresis].
From January 1980 to January 1992, urodynamic examinations were performed in 339 enuretic children without constipation or anatomical or neurogenic causes of incontinence. Nocturnal enuresis was seen in 178 patients, 130 children suffered from nocturnal and diurnal enuresis, and 31 had only diurnal enuresis. M. detrusor instability was found in 44% of the children and 73% showed more than 15% reduction in functional bladder capacity. In 5% an infravesical obstruction was suspected on pressure-flowmetry and in 12% dysfunctional voiding was seen. Routine urodynamic studies are not indicated in children with enuresis.
