Post-traumatic enuresis in a child

Spontaneous enuresis following a fracture of the clavicle in a fall in a 4-year-old child.

At first sight there is no link between enuresis and a fracture, especially if the fracture is located on a part that is not related to the nerve pathways or the pubic region. It is not necessary to see the fracture as the trigger but it is necessary to analyze the context of occurrence which fits perfectly with the appearance of the symptoms.

Here the child presents emotional memories on the stomach and on the small pelvis (bladder area) which corresponds for the latter to the values of family, of the small group and, very important here, of territory. The traumatic memories linked to the fracture are present here on the bladder area.

Before the parent explains the context of the event, I mention a conflict related to the child's loss of territory during the trauma. This one validates the context for me as this child was fighting for "space" on the couch when his sister pushed him off to keep the couch for herself.

This seems small at first glance in an external analysis but for the child, intrinsically, it is of great importance. Urinating is a way to mark territory in the animal unconscious. He thus compensates for his loss of territory.

Once the memories were removed, in addition to releasing the tension on the collarbone, it allowed him to have accident-free nights very quickly.
