We present the case report of a young woman who suffered from schizophrenia-like psychosis leading to polydipsia and consequent water intoxication. Because of progressive somnolence and epileptic seizures therapy on the intensive care unit became necessary. Findings of MRI and cerebrospinal fluid
Polyuria and polydipsia could be present in three groups of diseases; polydipsia psicogena characterized by an excessive water intake, central diabetes insipidus (CDI) with a defect in the production of AVP and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus in which a defect in the renal response to vasopressin is
Mesalazine is a first-line drug in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease, and is effective as primary treatment and maintenance therapy. It's usually well tolerated, but various side effects have been described. A 15-year-old female with ulcerative colitis developed polyuria, polydipsia, vomiting,
The authors report a case of a germinoma of the brain in the child with symptoms restricted to central nervous system. Ten-year-old girl presented initially with sight deterioration, learning difficulties, abnormal behavior, polydipsia, and polyuria. Brain magnetic resonance examination revealed T2
Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a soft tissue lesion of unknown etiology. In 2002 the WHO classified it as a soft tissue tumor, and renamed it inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Inflammatory pseudotumor may involve various organs and tissues of the body, mainly the lungs and eyes. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) develop as a non-neoplastic proliferation of myofibroblasts in a myxoid to collagenous stroma admixed with inflammatory cells. The symptoms depend on the specific location of the tumor, which can be anywhere, but is particularly in the respiratory system.
BACKGROUND
Loss of white adipose tissue (WAT), associated with type 1 diabetes (DM1), contributes to increased chronic systemic inflammation.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of leucine supplementation and resistance training (RT) in attenuating WAT loss and improving
Saposin D-deficient (Sap-D(-/-)) mice develop polydipsia/polyuria and die prematurely due to renal failure with robust hydronephrosis. Such symptoms emerged when they were around 3 mo of age. To investigate the pathogenesis of their water mishandling, we attempted to limit water supply and followed
We describe five patients with chronic inflammation of the hypophysis including three pituitary granulomas of unknown aetiology. In contrast to the previously reported cases, the involvement of neurohypophysis or hypothalamus was a distinct clinical feature in these patients. Impairment of anterior
BACKGROUND
Inflammatory pseudotumor of the pituitary is a very rare nonneoplastic lesion. We describe a case of a patient with past history of lymphocytic meningitis.
METHODS
A 32-year-old man presented with polyuria, polydipsia, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, and panhypopituitarism. He had 2
BACKGROUND
Burn injury results in a chronic inflammatory, hypermetabolic, and hypercatabolic state persisting long after initial injury and wound healing. Burn survivors experience a profound and prolonged loss of lean body mass, fat mass, and bone mineral density, associated with significant
Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) is a complex disorder in which large volumes of dilute urine are excreted due to arginine-vasopressin deficiency, and it is caused by a variety of conditions (genetic, congenital, inflammatory, neoplastic, traumatic) that arise mainly from the hypothalamus. The
BACKGROUND
Rathke cleft cyst (RCC) is a rare cystic sellar entity, which is usually small in size and asymptomatic in most patients. RCC presenting panhypopituitarism and a cystic lesion with rim enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging is extremely rare. Therefore, it is easy to be misdiagnosed as
Fanconi syndrome (FS) is well described in humans and dogs, but has not been reported in cats. This case series describes four cats with acquired FS. On the basis of clinical signs and intestinal biopsies, all cats were initially diagnosed with alimentary lymphoma or inflammatory bowel disease.
Lymphocytic hypophysitis is an unusual inflammatory lesion that is caused by autoimmune destruction of the pituitary gland. We report a case of 42-year-old man who presented with a 6-month history of severe headache, blurred vision in the right eye, hearing loss, polyuria, polydipsia, and impotence.
