Abstract

The case of a 6 year old with soiling along with looseness of bowel and nocturnal soiling is reported. After failing to respond to conventional treatments, his symptoms remitted on a small dose of amitriptyline. Within the diversity of presentations of soiling, there may be a subgroup, not usually amenable to treatment, who can benefit from symptomatic treatment with tricyclic antidepressants.
