Abstract Chronic functional constipation was confirmed by history, rectal examination, and rectal manometric studies in 20 of 26 children with enuresis. Treatment of constipation resulted in resolution of the enuresis. Uninhibited bladder contractions, observed in enuretic constipated children, were also noted in children with constipation alone, suggesting that constipation is a commonly unrecognized etiologic factor in enuresis.
