Abstract

Diabetes insipidus is a disorder caused by complete or partial deficiency or unresponsiveness to antidiuretic hormone. Both diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus are well-known causes of polyuria and polydipsia. Although Wolfram Syndrome, which is characterized by the concurrence of diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus along with optic atrophy and ataxia, is frequently reported, the concurrence of diabetes insipidus and type 2 diabetes mellitus without optic atrophy and deafness is rare. We report a 31-year-old woman presenting with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome caused by type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with concurrent central diabetes insipidus.
