title: Enuresis: an update on diagnosis and management.
abstract: Enuresis is frustrating for both children and parents. Early identification of enuretic children, proper evaluation of the condition, and appropriate management are important to promote the child's self-esteem and independence. This article defines enuresis, provides a practical approach to the assessment of a child with enuresis, and presents current, specific recommendations for the treatment of the most common form of enuresis, primary nocturnal enuresis.
