Resumen
INSUA, A. Adipsic diabetes insipidus after surgery for craniopharyngioma. Rev. argent. endocrinol. metab. [online]. 2011, vol.48, n.1, pp.34-37. ISSN 1851-3034.
The varied manifestations of hypothalamic disease (seizures, hydrocephalus, hypopytuitarism, altered appetite, sleep and body temperature regulation) also include plasma tonicity and extracellular volume regulation disorders, due to the disruption of ADH (antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin) secretion and/ or thirst mechanisms. We report the case of a patient operated on craniopharyngioma, who developed adipsic diabetes insipidus which illustrates the combined alterations of the mechanisms regulating water balance. No financial conflicts of interest exist.
