Diabetes insipidus associated with leukaemia.
Three cases of leukaemia complicated by pituitary diabetes insipidus are presented. In one patient diabetes insipidus developed five months before acute myelomonocytic leukaemia became apparent. The two other patients suffered from acute myelomonocytic leukaemia and from a blastic transformation of chronic myeloid leukaemia. In one case a transient cure of diabetes insipidus was obtained after intrathecal chemotherapy and irradiation of the skull.
