Abstract
Enuresis originally meant incontinence of urine, but usage has caused the term to be restricted to bedwetting after 3 years. Enuresis could be one of the symptoms of severe upper airway obstruction in children, which leads to abnormal ADH secretion due to abnormality in REM sleep. Relative upper airway obstruction could change sleep patterns and affect normal ventilation in sleep. Adenotonsillar hyperthrophy is one of the most common causes of upper airway obstruction in children. Prevalence of enuresis is about 4% -47% among children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy, which has been reported to decrease after adenotonsilectomy, especially in secondary type enuresis.
