ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted at the outpatient service of Urology. It comprised 93 patients diagnosed as having primary enuresis exclusively. All patients with underlying urological or extraurological conditions were excluded from the study. All the available material on this subject indicate that primary enuresis may be a clinical manifestation of delayed maturation of control of micturition at the level of the CNS. It is important to consider the family history, especially the paternal. Other factors; i.e., social, school, environment, etc., may be relatively important in the presentation of primary enuresis. All the patients in this series received the same treatment. The dose was adjusted according to patient age and sex. The results and the adverse effects of treatment are presented.

The present study compared the Zeiss and Dormia type extractors for ureteral calculi with the new methods of treatment (shock waves and laser) to determine the place of these extractors in our urological armamentarium today. The results and the complications in our series comprised of 80 cases are presented and the literature available on this subject reviewed. We discuss briefly the methods commonly used today, i. e., shock waves and laser, with special reference to the good results and scant complications. We can conclude from this study that these catheters continue to be useful in current urological practice.

Eosinophilic cystitis is an uncommonly diagnosed disease entity whose etiology is unknown, although factors favoring its presentation such as disorders due to hypersensitivity and associated vesico-prostatic disease have been mentioned. Four cases are presented. The clinical features, complementary tests, treatment, and course are discussed and the literature reviewed.
