title: The management of childhood voiding dysfunction.
abstract: Wetting disorders in children can be frustrating for the patient, his parents and the physician caring for him. Although in most children the urinary incontinence will resolve with maturation, it is the persistent wetter that is brought in for management. There are two main categories of wetting disorders: those associated with neurological dysfunction of the lower urinary tract (neurogenic bladder) and those with normal neurological function (voiding dysfunction). This communication will be limited to the features, evaluation and management of voiding dysfunction.
