The authors carried out a neuropsychological investigation of the characteristic aspects of functional asymmetry of the brain (FAB) in 72 adolescents (24 girls, 48 boys; age: 9-14 years) suffering of enuresis in comparison with a control choice of healthy adolescents (n-92). It was found that the patients showed a tendency to an accumulation of subjects with the left leading eye and revealed distinct differences in the distribution of ambidexters. These data may indicate immaturity and delay in FAB formation in the clinical choice and suggest the presence of mild exogenous-organic disorders of the central nervous system characterized by minimal brain dysfunction. Psychological control of the efficiency of treatment was realized.

Menstrual disorders are very common in adolescence, and can be the cause of a significant amount of stress to both the patients and their parents. Variations of the menstrual cycle in this age are very broad and are mainly caused by the immaturity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis. Amenorrhea (either primary or secondary), abnormal uterine bleeding and dysmenorrhea are conditions that require careful evaluation through a stepwise and logical manner. The term primary amenorrhea refers to the condition when menarche fails to occur, while secondary amenorrhea refers to the cessation of menses once they have begun. The occurrence of irregular, prolonged or heavy abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the most urgent gynecological problems in adolescence and the diagnosis of dysfunctional uterine bleeding should be used only when all other organic and structural causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding have been ruled out. Dysmenorrhea refers to painful menstruation and is the most common reason for which a young girl may refer to a gynecologist. It is characterized as primary in the absence of an underlying organic disease, and as secondary when there is evidence of pelvic pathology. Appropriate and early management of the patient is necessary in order to minimize the possibility of future complications regarding woman's reproductive ability.
