Permanent Central Diabetes Insipidus with Complete Regression of Pituitary Stalk Enlargement After 4 Years of Follow-up
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
A 14 year-old patient was admitted because of a history of polyuria and polydipsia. A diagnosis of central diabetes insipidus (CDI) accompanied by growth hormone (GH) and gonadotropin deficiency was made. Hypophyseal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the patient demonstrated isolated pituitary stalk enlargement. Although GH deficiency and gonadotropin deficiency were transient, CDI was persistent despite the regression of the pituitary stalk enlargement over the 4 years of follow-up.
