Urodynamic assessment was carried out in 33 children with persistent enuresis in spite of previous therapy. According to these investigations it was possible to divide our patients into several groups. One group of children displayed a normal urodynamic pattern. Another group showed neurogenic non-inhibited detrusor contractions on cystometry. Obstruction was noted in a third group of patients by means of urodynamic parameters. A small group of children was urodynamically normal, but suffered from recurrent urinary infections. The therapeutic results and the aetiology of enuresis is discussed.
