Genoa syndrome and central diabetes insipidus: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Genoa syndrome was first described by Camera et al in 1993 in two patients with semilobar holoprosencephaly (HPE), craniosynostosis and abnormal small hands with cone-shaped epiphyses and hypoplastic terminal phalanges of fingers (OMIM: 601370). In 2001, Lapunzina et al reported a case of craniosynostosis and HPE associated with several other malformations and suggested that these findings could be attributed to a severe form of Genoa syndrome or to a newly recognized syndrome. Endocrinopathies in association with HPE are frequently reported in the literature. Diabetes insipidus, hypothyroidism, hypocortisolism, and growth hormone deficiency are frequently associated with HPE. We here report a case of semilobar HPE, craniosynostosis and cleft lip/palate, possibly a case of Genoa syndrome, associated with central diabetes insipidus.

Giant cell myocarditis with central diabetes insipidus: A case report.

Project description: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. Echocardiography indicated a near-normal (50%) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), although the inferior wall of the left ventricle exhibited severe hypokinesis. Fulminant myocarditis and circulatory insufficiency were suspected, and treatment with dobutamine, 3 ?g/kg/min, was started. His LVEF gradually decreased to 20%. On day 17, he developed cardiogenic shock due to ventricular tachycardia and underwent peripheral venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and intra-aortic balloon pumping. Although he did not exhibit polyuria, intravenous vasopressin infusion (0.5 U/h) was performed to maintain normonatremia. Endomyocardial biopsy results revealed the infiltration of scattered giant cells (GCs) and extensive lymphocytes. Despite immunosuppressive therapy (methylprednisolone and cyclosporine), his cardiac function did not recover. On day 36, he received a biventricular assist device; however, he died on day 47 due to the progression of sepsis and multiple organ failure. We speculate that a deficient expression of programmed cell death protein-1 was the cause of both GC myocarditis and lymphocytic hypophysitis. <Learning objective: We describe a fatal case of fulminant giant cell myocarditis complicated by central diabetes insipidus due to lymphocytic hypophysitis. Normonatremia was maintained with intravenous vasopressin 0.5 U/h, and circulatory status was maintained with mechanical circulatory support. We speculate that T-cell programmed cell death protein 1 dysregulation was the common cause of the two disorders.>.

Adult pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis revealed by central diabetes insipidus: A case report and literature review.

Project description:Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare systemic and heterogeneous disease secondary to proliferation and diffuse infiltration of immature CD1a-positive dendritic cells, also known as Langerhans cells. LCH affects predominantly paediatric patients and is rarely diagnosed in adulthood. Despite its worldwide prevalence, most reported cases are found in the Japanese population. There is no consensus regarding treatment strategy due to the low incidence of this disease and the diversity of symptoms that appear. An integrative literature review was conducted based on the PubMed database using MeSH terms 'Langerhans', 'histiocytosis' and 'adult'. The present report describes a case of a successfully treated LCH-induced central diabetes insipidus (uncommon presentation in adult patients) as well as an updated review of current evidence published on this matter.

A case of central diabetes insipidus associated with cardiac dysfunction.

Project description:Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) results from a deficiency of arginine vasopressin (AVP) secretion. It is treated by replacement therapy with the synthetic AVP analogue desmopressin. To prevent heart failure in patients with CDI accompanied by cardiac dysfunction, controlling sodium and water intake is essential, using the minimum effective dose of desmopressin.

Central diabetes insipidus after staged spinal surgery.

Project description:Diabetes insipidus (DI) is described following penetrating spinal cord trauma but rarely following instrumented spinal fusion. More commonly, hyponatremia is seen following spine surgery, which may be iatrogenic, attributed to the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone release. The authors present a case of a 57-year-old woman who underwent a planned two-stage operation for scoliotic deformity correction. On the third postoperative day, the patient developed hypernatremia (sodium levels of 157 mmol/L) and polyuria. In conjunction with endocrinology, the patient was diagnosed with central DI. The patient was treated with desmopressin acetate (DDAVP), which led to resolution of her symptoms. DDAVP was temporary and eventually weaned off. Central DI is a possible cause of hypernatremia following significant spine surgery. Correct diagnosis is paramount for rapid and appropriate treatment.

Report: central diabetes insipidus and schwannoma in a male with X-linked congenital adrenal hypoplasia.

Project description:BackgroundDAX1 mutations are related to the X-linked form of adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) in infancy and to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) in puberty. We report a male patient affected by X-linked AHC who presented with central diabetes insipidus and schwannoma in adulthood, which has not been described in association with AHC.Case presentationA 36-day-old male infant who presented with severe dehydration was admitted to the intensive care unit. His laboratory findings showed hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, hypoglycemia, and metabolic acidosis. After hormonal evaluation, he was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency, and he recovered after treatment with hydrocortisone and a mineralocorticoid. He continued to take hydrocortisone and the mineralocorticoid after discharge. At the age of 17, he did not show any signs of puberty. On the basis of a GnRH test, a diagnosis of HH was made. At the age of 24, he was hospitalized with thirst, polydipsia and polyuria. He underwent a water deprivation test for polydipsia and was diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus. By quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis, we identified a hemizygous frameshift mutation in DAX1 (c.543delA).ConclusionsWe suggest that DAX1 mutations affect a wider variety of endocrine organs than previously known, including the posterior pituitary gland.

Anti-PD-L1 Treatment Induced Central Diabetes Insipidus.

Project description:Context:Immune checkpoint inhibitors, including anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), anti-programmed cell death protein ligand 1 (PD-L1), and anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (anti-CTLA4) monoclonal antibodies, have been widely used in cancer treatment. They are known to cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which resemble autoimmune diseases. Anterior pituitary hypophysitis with secondary hypopituitarism is a frequently reported irAE, especially in patients receiving anti-CTLA4 treatment. In contrast, posterior pituitary involvement, such as central diabetes insipidus (DI), is relatively rare and is unreported in patients undergoing PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Case Description:We describe a case of a 73-year-old man with Merkel cell carcinoma who received the anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody avelumab and achieved partial response. The patient developed nocturia, polydipsia, and polyuria 3 months after starting avelumab. Further laboratory testing revealed central DI. Avelumab was held and he received desmopressin for the management of central DI. Within 6 weeks after discontinuation of avelumab, the patient's symptoms resolved and he was eventually taken off desmopressin. The patient remained off avelumab and there were no signs or symptoms of DI 2 months after the discontinuation of desmopressin. Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first report of central DI associated with anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy. The patient's endocrinopathy was successfully managed by holding treatment with the immune checkpoint inhibitor. This case highlights the importance of early screening and appropriate management of hormonal irAEs in subjects undergoing treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors to minimize morbidity and mortality.

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus : Old deletion, new effect. A case report of a family from Greece.

Project description:Congenital, X-linked, Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus (NDI) is a rare disorder in which the kidney is insensitive to the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin. The gene responsible for this type of NDI, the V2 vasopressin receptor, has been cloned and mapped to Xq28. We report the case of a boy, 2.5 month old, who presented with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). The mother and the 7 year old sister of the boy also had the NDI phenotype but did not seek medical attention until the presentation of the boy to our department. The mutational analysis of the patient showed the R337stop mutation, also founded to the mother's genotype analysis. The allele separation in mother revealed the second X chromosomal allele with a 12- bp in-frame deletion. The same in-frame deletion was also found in his sister's genotype. This deletion of four amino acids (Arg-247 to Gly-250) has been previously described but was suggested not to be linked with the NDI phenotype. However, in our case, the only possible cause of NDI phenotype in the boy's sister was the 12-bp in-frame deletion.

Central diabetes insipidus and pain medications - a risky combination.

Project description:BackgroundCentral Diabetes Insipidus (CDI) results from decreased production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) leading to an inability to concentrate urine. CDI is treated with desmopressin (DDAVP). Rarely reported in the literature, opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) can induce hyponatremia in individuals treated for CDI.Case presentationA 10-year-old boy with septo-optic dysplasia and CDI was treated with DDAVP 1.6 mg orally TID maintaining normal sodium levels. Post admission for a femur fracture, he was discharged on ibuprofen and hydromorphone. Sodium was 136 mmol/l two days before discharge. He returned to the ED after having a seizure at home. He was euvolemic and mildly lethargic. Sodium was low at 108 mmol/l. DDAVP and hydromorphone were held and he was fluid restricted, but the sodium remained low. Sodium began to rise when Ibuprofen was stopped. Intermittent small doses of DDAVP were given to facilitate gradual correction of hyponatremia. At discharge, sodium had normalized.ConclusionHyponatremia has occasionally been described as a side effect of opioids and rarely of NSAIDs in patients with CDI. Stimulation of the thirst centre may play a role with opioids while a decrease in urine output may be the mechanism with NSAIDs.

Case Report: Diabetes in Chinese Bloom Syndrome.

Project description:Bloom syndrome (BS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that causes several endocrine abnormalities. So far, only one BS pedigree, without diabetes, has been reported in the Chinese population. We presented the first case of BS with diabetes in the Chinese population and explored the clinical spectrum associated with endocrine. Possible molecular mechanisms were also investigated. Our study indicated that BS may be one rare cause of diabetes in the Chinese population. We also found a new pathogenic sequence variant in BLM (BLM RecQ like helicase gene)(NM_000057.4) c.692T>G, which may expand the spectrum of BLM variants.

Hypoparathyroidism and central diabetes insipidus: in search of the link.

Project description:Two siblings (a 15-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl) who presented with hypocalcemic seizure at the age of 2 years and 2 months (boy) and 2 years and 4 months (girl) were diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism. At the age of 3 years, the girl developed central diabetes insipidus with good response to desmopressin acetate treatment. The family history was unremarkable, and there was no consanguinity between the parents. The father is of Iraqi/Egyptian Jewish origin and the mother is of Iranian/Romanian Jewish origin. Sequence analysis of the candidate genes for isolated hypoparathyroidism encoding calcium-sensing receptor, parathyroid hormone, and glial cells missing homolog B did not reveal any mutations. Whole-exome sequencing identified a homozygous mutation in the autoimmune regulatory gene (AIRE), c.374A>G;p.Y85C, characteristic for Jewish Iranians with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS1), which was confirmed by the Sanger sequencing. Antibodies against the adrenal, pancreatic islet cell, ovary, thyroid, pituitary, celiac, and parietal cell were negative in both siblings, while anti-diuretic hormone antibodies were positive only in the girl. No other symptoms or signs of APS1 developed during all the years of follow-up.APS1 should be part of the differential diagnosis in children presenting with isolated hypoparathyroidism or hypoparathyroidism with central diabetes insipidus (CDI). These cases show that the AIRE mutation characteristic of Iranian Jews can also be found in non-Iranian Jews.
