Abstract
Uncommonly, older children and adolescents can present with a history of enuresis. Resolution of enuresis followed the diagnosis and treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in each child in this case series. Subjects were three children with DSM-IV-TR ADHD, who presented with a history of primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE). Our results reveal that a subgroup of children with ADHD plus enuresis, when treated with stimulant medication, demonstrated resolution of enuresis as well as ADHD. These results suggest clinical implications for providers treating children and adolescents with enuresis and ADHD.Entities:
