Nocturnal Enuresis (NE) is defined as the involuntary passage of urine during sleep past the age of usual control, which is considered a developmental age of 5 to 7 years. NE is a common problem that causes distress to both children and their families. It has an adverse impact on behavior and social life, affects self-esteem, and can result in poor emotional well-being. In Egypt, the prevalence of NE in primary school children is about 15.4%. The family history was seen to have had a markedly significant impact on the occurrence of NE in the studied children. The mainstay of treatment is urotherapy with information and psychoeducation about normal lower urinary tract function, the underlying cause of MNE, disturbed bladder dysfunction in the child with NMNE, and instructions about therapeutic strategies. Alarm therapy and desmopressin are effective in randomized trials. Children with NMNE first need treatment of the underlying daytime functional bladder problem before treatment of nocturnal enuresis.
