Four children, three girls aged 9, 5.5 and 6.5 years, and a boy aged 8 years, suffered from urinary incontinence. The underlying conditions, urge syndrome with urge incontinence, ectopic ureter, meatus stenosis, and pelvic floor dysfunction, respectively, were identified and treated, after which the children were no longer incontinent. Diurnal incontinence is present in 2-3% of 7-year-olds. Incontinence is accompanied by recurrent urinary tract infections and vesicoureteric reflux in 40% of cases. A combination of these two disorders can lead to impaired renal function. Especially in girls, involuntary urine loss is usually based on dysfunctional voiding, a non-neurogenic coordination problem between the detrusor muscle of the bladder and the pelvic floor. A careful history is the most important tool in reaching the correct diagnosis.
