To explore the relationship between nocturnal enuresis and obstructive sleep apnea in an adult with obesity.
Case report of an adult with obesity experiencing nocturnal enuresis and daytime somnolence.
Diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea was confirmed via a home sleep study.
Intervention involved continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment.
Immediate resolution of nocturnal enuresis after CPAP treatment.
Patient experienced significant improvement in daytime somnolence.

Resumen

We present a case of nocturnal enuresis (NE) in an adult with obesity that resolved with treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The patient reported daytime somnolence and enuresis with no daytime urinary incontinence. A home sleep study diagnosed OSA. The patient received continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment with immediate resolution of enuresis. This case highlights the importance of recognizing enuresis as a potential symptom of sleep apnea.
