- A multidisciplinary approach is mandatory in defining the cause and directing the treatment of childhood urinary incontinence. Both pediatricians and pediatric urologists should carefully evaluate a child with incontinence for possible overlapping etiologies, before labeling him or her as a refractory case. We report an epileptic boy with dysfunctional elimination syndrome (DES) with associated rare complications of giggle incontinence and idiopathic urethritis, proving the need for a good voiding diary, patient history and structured symptom scores.

- Prepubertal testicular masses are relatively rare. Sertoli cell tumors account for 2% of prepubertal testicular tumors and very few have occurred in the first decade of life. Gynecomastia can be seen in approximately 5% of patients with testicular mass. We present an 8-month-old boy admitted with bilateral gynecomastia and unilateral testicular mass.

- Bladder augmentation has revolutionized the care of children with neurogenic bladder but it is associated with certain short- and long-term complications. Using the combination of gastric and ileal segments to balance effects of these segments might be a solution for complications. A total of 39 female Spraque-Dawley rats randomly divided into four groups: ileocystoplasty (11), gastrocystoplasty (9), ileogastrocystoplasty (11) and control (8). Serum/urine electrolytes and pH values, and serum creatinine levels and urine mucus concentration were measured. Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric variance analysis was performed to compare the groups and p < 0.05 was accepted as significant. Metabolic alkalosis with significantly lower urine pH was observed in gastrocystoplasty group. Gastroileal group showed similar results with the ileal group in all parameters. No stone formation was detected in the sham and gastric cystoplasty groups. Metaplastic and hyperplastic changes were observed in all segments surrounding urothelium. In conclusion, combination of gastric and ileal segments does not significantly reduce the rate of metabolic impairments, stone and mucus formation. Besides it is not associated with significant improvement in histological outcome since urine is still in contact with the gastrointestinal mucosa.

- We investigated whether certain voiding problems have a higher incidence in patients with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity compared to age matched controls.We used the Conners Parent Rating Scale-revised for attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity and lower urinary tract symptom score to evaluate voiding problems. A total of 62 children with attention deficit disorder and 124 healthy controls were enrolled. We evaluated uroflowmetry patterns in both groups. Residual urine volumes and Bristol stool scale were noted. We examined the correlation between total Conners Parent Rating Scale-revised and lower urinary tract symptom score in patients with attention deficit disorder. Additionally we analyzed each index of the Conners Parent Rating Scale-revised separately in terms of correlation with symptom subgroups for lower urinary tract symptom scores.Mean ± SD total lower urinary tract symptom score was 11.1 ± 2.9 in patients with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity and 3.2 ± 1.3 in controls, a difference that was statistically significantly (p <0.001). With the exception of constipation, mean scores of all lower urinary tract symptom subindices were significantly higher in patients with attention deficit disorder compared to controls. Symptoms evaluated in lower urinary tract symptom score were mostly correlated with attention deficit disorder index of the Conners Parent Rating Scale-revised. If a child with attention deficit disorder has a high index in the Conners Parent Rating Scale-revised, he or she is more likely to have urgency. Also, if a child with attention deficit disorder has a high hyperactivity subscale score, he or she is more likely to have enuresis.Voiding problems are more common in children with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity than in age matched controls. Urgency and enuresis are the outstanding problems in children with attention deficit disorder. Simultaneous use of the Conners Parent Rating Scale-revised and lower urinary tract symptom score questionnaire should be encouraged in patients with attention deficit disorder to allow a structured and quantitative evaluation of these overlapping problems.
