摘要
Current treatments for pediatric nocturnal enuresis rely upon the use of behavioral interventions, such as enuresis alarms, and pharmacological interventions, such as antidiuretic hormone analogs, tricyclic antidepressants, and anticholinergics. However, a considerable number of patients do not respond fully to any of these interventions, in spite of optimal behavioral management and medication dosing. This report describes 4 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) comorbid with nocturnal enuresis. Each child was treated with atomoxetine for ADHD and experienced serendipitous resolution of enuresis.
