[Etiopathogenetic aspects of central diabetes insipidus. Report of a clinical case].
The manifold etiopathogenetic conditions responsible for central diabetes insipidus are minutely examined. On the ground of these introductory remarks, the Authors report a case of diabetes insipidus following from pituitary metastasis in a patient with cancer of the lung. Some relations between diabetes insipidus and cancer are discussed. The uncommon remark of a metastatic lesion in the etiopathogenesis of the central diabetes insipidus and its early display in the patient at issue support this description.
