The Relationship between Nocturnal Enuresis and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children

NE was present in 39.2% of children with OSA compared to 28% in the control group (<i>p</i> = 0.04). After AT, 49% of the children with OSA and NE significantly improved. Both OSA groups had narrower arch widths than the control group (<i>p</i> = 0.012), with the NE group having the narrowest widths. NE is more prevalent in children with OSA and should be considered one of the first signs of breathing disorders. Adenotonsillectomy reduces NE in about half of the affected children. Both arch widths are narrower in children with OSA, particularly in those with NE.
