One form is acute and disseminated ; the two others are chronic, unifocal or multifocal. Borderline cases and intermediate forms can be seen. For instance, onset

Diabetes insipidus is not generally recognized as a possible cause of etiologically obscure fever. We describe a female patient who presented with fever and polyuria and was shown to have idiopathic partial neurogenic diabetes insipidus. The fever was subsequently demonstrated to be caused by

BACKGROUND Neurological manifestations in dengue fever occur in <1 % of the patients and known to be due to multisystem dysfunction secondary to vascular leakage. Occurrence of wide spread cerebral haemorrhages with subdural hematoma during the leakage phase without profound thrombocytopenia and

Central diabetes insipidus (DI) was detected in a patient with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) who had been molecularly and serologically diagnosed with Hantaan virus infection. We recommend that clinicians differentiate central DI in HFRS patients with a persistent diuretic phase even

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

Central diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare complication of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), which usually presents after pulmonary or kidney involvement. Anterior pituitary dysfunction secondary to WG has been extremely rare, documented in only three cases. We report a case of a 47-year-old

A 51-year-old male, previously diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus due to lymphocytic hypophysitis, presented with fever and dyspnea for 1 week. On arrival, he exhibited hypotension (85/60 mmHg) and sinus tachycardia (110 bpm). His electrocardiogram revealed mild ST elevation on V2-V4.

A 16-year-old male complained of a headache and a high fever followed by polyuria. The endocrinological studies showed he had hypopituitarism and central diabetes insipidus, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a pituitary mass. Diabetes insipidus gradually improved and hydrocortisone
