Abstract:
Enuresis(NE)and obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)are common diseases in children, which often cause various social and psychological problems and the coexistence of both seriously affects the physical and mental health of children.At present, there have been many speculations about whether OSA can cause NE and the specific pathogenesis.OSA may be susceptible to NE due to abnormal secretion of humoral factors, sleep-wake disorders, bladder dysfunction, obesity, and psychosomatic factors, among which abnormal secretion of humoral factors and sleep-wake disorders may play a crucial role.In addition, it has been suggested that adenotonsillectomy may be the best treatment option for children suffering from OSA with NE when upper airway obstruction is present.This article summarizes the relationship between NE and OSA and how to treat them, aiming to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of OSA and NE.
