title: [Enuresis: treatments recognized by EBM].
abstract: Nocturnal enuresis is a frequent pediatric disease which necessitates an appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic approach. In this article, we discuss the epidemiology and physiopathology of this condition. Available evidence suggests that children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis could be treated by bladder advice, the enuresis alarm and/or desmopressin. Therapy resistant cases should be handled by specialist centers.
