dc.description.abstractAim: Monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in children may cause psychological and behavioral problems. The aim of this study was to assess symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis. Material and Method Fifty-seven children (23 male, 34 female) with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis and 57 healthy controls (25 male, 32 female) aged 6 to 12 years participated in the study. Conners' Parent Rating Scale-48 (CPRS), a 48-item multiple-choice questionnaire, was completed by the mothers to identify the attention deficit and hyperactivity symptoms in children. Results: Mean age of the children with enuresis was 8.54 +/- 2.18 years and that of the control group 9.12 +/- 2.13 years. Attention deficit score in the enuretic group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p=0.02). Hyperactivity scores were not significantly different between the groups (p=0.36). Bedwetting frequencies were not different between enuretic children with and without attention deficit or hyperactivity symptoms (p=0.06). Conclusions: Psychological and behavioral assessment may be indicated in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis since the results of this study demonstrate increased attention deficit symptomatology.
