title: [Enuresis in childhood].
abstract: In children with nocturnal bedwetting, the basic diagnostic evaluation to differentiate between monosymptomatic enuresis and organic or functional urinary incontinence is mandatory. When the diagnosis of monosymptomatic enuresis is set, a stepped therapeutic program is available, in which alarm/behavior therapy has a central role. Drug therapy of monosymptomatic enuresis in childhood is an established option and is reserved for certain indications.
