Nocturnal Enuresis in an Adult With Obesity

We present a case of nocturnal enuresis (NE) in an adult with obesity that resolved with treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The patient reported daytime somnolence and enuresis with no daytime urinary incontinence. A home sleep study diagnosed OSA. The patient received continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment with immediate resolution of enuresis. This case highlights the importance of recognizing enuresis as a potential symptom of sleep apnea.

Abstract

We present a case of nocturnal enuresis (NE) in an adult with obesity that resolved with treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The patient reported daytime somnolence and enuresis with no daytime urinary incontinence. A home sleep study diagnosed OSA. The patient received continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment with immediate resolution of enuresis. This case highlights the importance of recognizing enuresis as a potential symptom of sleep apnea.
