In the last 2 years, 29 children with nocturnal enuresis were treated in the outpatient departments of the Departments of Urology and Pediatric Surgery of the Aristotle University, Thessaloniki. There were 22 boys and 7 girls aged 7 to 12 years. The clinical examination was normal in all cases. All children had undergone various treatments with no beneficial effect, and relapses had occurred. The patients were given desmopressin (DDAVP) nasal drops in combination with bladder physiotherapy; 77% were cured after 12 months. Physiotherapy improves the percentage of cures as the functional capacity of the bladder increases.
