Introduction: Some children have a severe urinary frequency with an abrupt onset. They void every 15 minutes during the day, without daytime incontinence, dysuria, nocturia, or urinary tract infection (UTI).

The analysis was conducted by SPSS version 16 and a P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.

Results: The obsessive disorder was noted in five individuals (6.6%) of case group (pollakiuria) and eight individuals (10.5%) of the control group (P=0.282).
