Abstract
A case of diencephalic-midbrain hemorrhage presenting with excessive thirst, coma, and death is discussed. Some diencephalic dysfunction syndromes are reviewed, as well as their physiological basis. Thirst and drinking behavior can provide a valuable localizing symptom and sign in clinical-pathological correlations.
