Introduction: nocturnal enuresis (NE) is a common childhood health condition. This problem causes personal and social repercussion. The health professionals have to make an individualized and adequate management of this problem. The aim of this study is to know the prevalence of NE in children between seven and ten years old of the city of Burgos. Patients and methods: to this end, we have designed an observational and transversal study. We have selected a random sample of school children in Burgos between 2nd and 5th year of Obligatory Primary Education. They have completed a questionnaire. Results: the prevalence of NE was 7.3%. NE is more frequent in males and children with familiar precedents of NE, with some type of chronic illness, with associated disorders of the sleep and behavior and with low academic performance. Conclusions: the prevalence of NE in children in Burgos city is lower than in another child groups of similar characteristics. There is a low diagnosis rate of NE in Burgos city.
