Abstract
For children with MNE and associated NP, a high comorbidity with the predominantly inattentive presentation of ADHD was demonstrated. Children experienced problems with daytime functioning in relation to their wetting problem at night. According to the teachers, a low maximum voided volume was associated with more attention problems, and a high number of nights with NP was associated with more behaviour-regulation problems. Although comorbidity is still the appropriate word to use, the observation favours a more complex pathogenesis of enuresis with a common pathway in the central nervous system, including: neurotransmitters, influencing neuropsychological functioning as well as sleep, circadian rhythm of diuresis and bladder function control.
