Material and melhod; A retrospective study was performed at the Budapest Heim Pál National Pediatric lnstitute (HPNPI) and the 2'd Department of Pediatrics of the University of Marosvdsiirhely, TArgu Mureq (UMV). A period of 1.5 years was examined using the patient material of the pediatric clinics. Children with involuntary urination during sleep without congenital or acquired central nervous system damage were included in the study. A total of '183 patients were included. Accordingly, a total of 132 cases of NE were classified from the HPNPI in Budapest and 51 patients from the Pediatric Clinic of UMV. Results; The gender distribution was characterized by a slight predominance of boys in both hospitals. The most common age at presentationwasGyearsatHPNPlandByearsatUMVAfamilyhistoryof NEwaspresentinS4o/oof casesatHPNPl and12o/oatUMV. ln HPNPI, less than half of the patients had monosymptomatic NE. ln UMV more than half of the patients had MNE. The most common cause of NE is delayed maturation. More than half of our patients had severe NE. At HPNPI, 28o/" ol cases received no treatmenl.72o/o of patients received some type of treatment. ln these cases, anticholinergics, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), desmopressin preparations, or alarm training were used. ln UMV more than half of the patients received no medication. 19 patients received some type of medication, desmopressin, or an anticholinergic. ln no case was TCA or alarm training used. Conclusions; Monosymptomatic NE was more common at UMV while NMNE was more common atthe Budapest institute. PNE occurred more frequently than SNE in both hospitals. ln both institutions, NE occurred more frequently in boys than in girls. Bedwetting is still a comm0n pediatric problem requiring complex preventive, etiological and curative treatment.
