Neurological Dysfunction cause of Bedwetting 

Here is some research on Neurological Dysfunction and Bedwetting: One of the most common causes of nocturnal enuresis or bed wetting is an abnormality in the functional relationship between the neurologic and urologic systems. A large 30 to 40% of patients with polysymptomatic nocturnal enuresis have soft signs (i.e. impaired fine motor skills or speech defects or visual motor perception or decreased spatial or balance issues) of neurologic dysfunction.^1,2 Although some patients with enuresis have permanent neurologic dysfunction, most patients have only a delay in the acquisition of these neurologic skills. This latter finding coupled with the strong genetic influence suggests that delayed maturation in neurologic development and its subsequent coordination with the urologic system could be an inherited phenomenon.^1,2,3
