متن کاملCentral diabetes insipidus
Central diabetes insipidus (CDI), characterized by polyuria and polydipsia, is caused by deficiency of arginine vasopressin (AVP), an antidiuretic hormone which acts on V2 receptors in kidney to promote reabsorption of free water. CDI is classified into three subtypes; idiopathic, secondary and familial. A previous study suggests that infundibulo-neurohypophysitis might be an underlying cause o...
متن کاملSuprasellar lymphoid hyperplasia presenting with diabetes insipidus and hypogonadism.
We report a pediatric patient who presented with hypogonadism and diabetes insipidus. Further evaluation revealed hypothyroidism. MRI of the brain revealed a suprasellar mass. Following frontal craniotomy for mass biopsy, histological analysis of the mass revealed benign lymphoid hyperplasia. The patient has had no progression of his mass or symptoms at most recent follow-up (10 months). We rev...
