Abstract
Primary care physicians have become increasingly reluctant to refer children for tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy during the past years while antimicrobial therapy for acute tonsilitis and acute otitis media has become more common. For this reason, more children retain tonsils and adenoids and prone to consequencies of airway compromise. One of the consequencies is Enuresis Nocturna. This study evalutes the relationship between enuresis nocturna and upper airway obstruction caused by adenoton- sillar hypertrophy. Among 87 children who were operated on. 13 had enuresis nocturna. After i year follow up 8 patients were free of their complaints while 2 of them mentioned decrease in frequency of enuresis nocturna and 3 had no change in their com- - plaints.
