Background: nocturnal enuresis (NE) has a negative impact on children's health and imposes a long-term burden on families. With increasing the awareness and improving the cultural conditions more attention was given to NE. Objective: To assess the frequency and associated risk factors of NE in a sample of primary school children in the Sharkia Governorate. Patients and methods:The study was carried out in two randomly selected schools (Al Salam primary school and Tal Moftah primary school) in Abo Hammad district, Sharkia Governorate. The sample included children who had monosymptomatic, primary, or secondary nocturnal enuresis including 454 children ages 6-12 years. Results: The frequency of NE was (8.8%). Children experienced more NE if they drank beverages containing caffeine during the day (12.2%). About 42.9% and 43.3% of children had constipation and urinary tract infection respectively suffering from NE. All children with social problems were belonging to the nocturnal enuresis group. Conclusion: Nocturnal enuresis was a common problem in children. Most of its risk factors were preventable and treatable.

“…It was also found that in children with nocturnal enuresis, the ratio of REM sleep is lower and REM latency is longer than that of normal children. 40 However, according to Gu et al, there was no significant difference in sleep architecture between children with nocturnal enuresis and healthy controls. 41 In our study, REM sleep percentage was low in children with nocturnal enuresis compared with controls.…”

Nocturnal enuresis is one of the side effects of valproic acid treatment, and generally underdiagnosed by clinicians. Studies reported that a variable incidence of valproic acid–induced nocturnal enuresis is 2.2% to 24% with unclear explanations of the reasons behind valproic acid–induced nocturnal enuresis. A retrospective study was carried out on 260 children (aged 5-12 years) diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy, treated with valproic acid to evaluate the nocturnal enuresis secondary to valproic acid, and to discuss the characteristics of their sleep architecture. Nocturnal enuresis was reported in 28 (10.7%) patients after a mean exposure time to valproate of 18.78±8.4 days. Nocturnal enuresis was significantly associated with younger age and serum level of valproate ( P = .05). The polysomnographic study suggested that the underlying mechanism may be related to impaired sleep efficiency, frequent arousals, prolonged sleep latency, snoring, or increased sleep depth which may impair a child’s ability to awaken to the sense of bladder fullness or contractions.

“…A psychiatric evaluation was done using the Arabic translation of the Kiddie Schedule of Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS) [15]. The emotional and behavioral problems were assessed by using an Arabic validated form of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) that was fulfilled by the guardians and scored by a computerized software system (Assessment Data Managerversion 9.1) [16].…”

Background The description of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) a benign self-limited generalized epilepsy has become a matter of debate. The objectives of this work were to evaluate the existence of psychiatric and cognitive impairments among patients with typical CAE and to correlate their possible relation to seizure frequency, duration of epilepsy, IISL, and valproate therapy. Methods The study was conducted on 19 typical CAE patients receiving valproate therapy, 11 newly diagnosed CAE patients not receiving AEDs, and 30 healthy control subjects (HCS). Participants were subjected to medical history taking, EEG monitoring, child behavior checklist (CBCL), Stanford Binet Intelligence Scale 5th edition, and computerized psychometric tests that assess cognitive domains and executive functions. Results The study revealed a high rate of cognitive and psychiatric dysfunctions in CAE patients. 53.3% of patients had psychiatric problems versus 16.6% in HCS. Attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) (26.6%), anxiety (16.6%), and depression (6.6%) were the most common psychiatric disorders in the patient group. Withdrawn/depressed symptoms, thought problems, social problems, and attention problems in CAE patients were significantly increased compared to HCS. At the same time, CAE patients perform worse in cognitive scales than HCS with comparable intelligent quotient (IQ) scores. Conclusion Cognitive and psychiatric impairments in typical CAE patients appear multifactorial in origin with epilepsy-related factors including the duration of epilepsy and interictal spike load (IISL).
