Nocturnal enuresis, sometimes associated with diurnal enuresis, may be a part of psychiatric disorders, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism and other severe disturbances. In such conditions, enuresis is a minor medical symptom but a major request with respect to the patient’s quality of life, with an associated risk of punishment and abuse.

Epidemiological studies have shown nocturnal enuresis is more common in boys and in first-born children. It has a familial incidence. By definition primary enuresis is present from birth. Diurnal enuresis is more common in girls.

Daytime wetting (diurnal enuresis) is more common in girls than boys. If children develop daytime wetting having been dry, it is important to rule out urinary infection and constipation and also to consider the fact that bladder sensation can be reduced by anxiety. If the child is deliberately wetting in various places in the house, this suggests emotional disturbance, which may need further psychological assessment.

The search strategy in Pubmed and Embase was based on the Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome (PICO) literature search tool [24]. Search terms representing patient were: stroke, cerebrovascular disorder and cerebrovascular haemorrhage. Terms representing interventions were: transcutanous electrical nerve stimulation, electroacupuncture, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and functional electrical stimulation. Search terms representing outcome were: over active bladder, nocturnal enuresis, diurnal enuresis, stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence, and urinary incontinence. The search strategy used in Pubmed and Embase was adjusted to match the remaining databases. Further, we conducted a chain search of cited studies in relevant reviews [21,25,26] to identify additional studies.
Diurnal enuresis developing in association with risperidone and aripiprazole use in a child with autism spectrum disorder: a case report

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder. Risperidone and aripiprazole appear to be effective in associated behavioural problems with ASDs, including irritability, aggressiveness, hyperactivity, self-injurious behaviour, and stereotypies [1,2]. Diurnal enuresis is defined as involuntary daytime voiding of urine. Enuresis is a side-effect that adversely affects treatment compliance and quality of life for children and their carers. Various psychotropic agents have been reported to cause nocturnal enuresis. In order of prevalence, these include clozapine, olanzapine, quetiapine, and risperidone [3]. Younger age may also add a greater risk for enuresis [4]. In our case, new-onset diurnal enuresis was observed as a side-effect after risperidone use. Risperidone therapy was stopped, and the patient was started on arıpiprazole in the light of reports of the therapeutic effect of aripiprazole in the treatment of clozapine-related enuresis [5].
