Familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (FNDI) is a genetic disorder presenting with polyuria and polydipsia and is caused by mutations in the arginine vasopressin-neurophysin II (AVP-NPII) gene. The clinical manifestations of this disorder vary greatly depending on different mutations. The
OBJECTIVE
Despite lymphocytic or autoimmune infundibuloneurohypophysitis (INH) is an increasingly recognized aetiology in children with central diabetes insipidus (CDI); clinical data on epidemiology (clinical evolution, predisposing factors, complications), diagnosis and management of this entity
X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare inherited disease, and is characterized by renal resistance to arginine vasopressin (AVP). Its diagnosis can be clinically challenging. The application of molecular genetic analysis can provide a rapid and definitive Although postoperative nausea and vomiting and pain after supra- and infratentorial craniotomy have been evaluated in multiple studies, there are few data regarding pain or postoperative nausea and vomiting after transsphenoidal procedures. Therefore, we reviewed the perioperative records of 877
We describe an 18-year-old female who complained of general weakness, nausea, vomiting, headache, and lightheadedness. On physical examination, she was euvolemic without visual or neurological deficits. The striking biochemical abnormality was hyponatremia (125 mmol/l). This hyponatremia met the
Intranasal desmopressin represents the treatment of choice in Central Diabetes Insipidus. Nevertheless, this route of administration bears some practical disadvantage, linked to either difficult delivering technique, or the status of nasal mucose. The antidiuretic effectiveness of oral desmopressin
This case report describes an unusual presentation of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, which was misdiagnosed as acute gastroenteritis in a 6-year-old girl. The patient later returned to the emergency department (ED) with severe dehydration from idiopathic central diabetes insipidus (DI). At her first
A 29-year-old nullipara was admitted at 31 weeks' gestation because of toxemia. She noted gradually polyuria, severe thirst, malaise, nausea and anorexia. A water-deprivation test and administration of aqueous vasopressin confirmed the diagnosis of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. At 33 weeks'
Pituitary apoplexy is characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical features. A quite rare case of painless thyroiditis, hypopituitarism and central diabetes insipidus (DI) followed by pituitary apoplexy was presented. A 61-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital in May, 1986 because of marked
BACKGROUND
Lung cancers are known to metastasize to unusual sites. Despite this knowledge often times the diagnosis of a primary lung cancer gets delayed especially when the patient presents without respiratory symptoms.
METHODS
The patient discussed in our review is a 47-year-old female, smoker who
A 57-year-old woman presented with severe lethargy, dizziness and nausea 1 week after transsphenoidal resection of a growth hormone secreting pituitary adenoma. She was found to have severe hyponatremia of 115 mmol/L. Importantly, she was neurologically intact and clinically euvolaemic. Her fluid
Apomorphine, a centrally-acting emetic, was administered subcutaneously (50 micrograms/kg) to nine normal subjects (four male, five female; aged 22-36 years) and four patients with idiopathic diabetes insipidus (DI) (one male, three female; aged 24-49 years). In the normal subjects this stimulus
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare and often fatal disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, mental status changes, and renal dysfunction. Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) is a rare disease due to anatomic lesions of the hypothalamicpituitary
A family suffering from cranial diabetes insipidus, that extends over 4 generations, is described. Inheritance of polyuria was autosomal dominant. Vasopressin function was studied in members of the last 2 generations, 4 of whom had polyuria. Osmoregulation of vasopressin secretion was assessed by
Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is a rare endocrine emergency that occasionally presents with sodium disturbances. Here we present a rare case with a previously healthy 41-year-old female who presented with acute onset headache and nausea without visual impairment or overt pituitary dysfunction. Plasma
