A case of a child aged four and a half years old. She suffered from involuntary urination at night in sleep as well as during daytime while sleeping. This was going on since the last 2 years. Her mother was very worried about the problem. There were no other complaints the child suffered from.
The child was very shy and during the whole case taking she didn’t utter a single word. She was just smiling and sat on the sofa next to her mother hiding for sometime. Then she used to peep and smile.
Her mother told that she had a very bad temper in anger she throws things, hits her elder sister. She is very stubborn and throws temper tantrums if she doesn’t get what she wants; she will weep for a longtime and wont listen for quiet sometime.
She is afraid of dogs, cats +3, darkness and being alone. She loves to dress up well, likes lipstick, henna, and nail polish. She loves traveling and is very happy while traveling.

Last she reported in Sept 2005 and the child is good shape and also the extra hair growth has decreased.
