Diabetes insipidus and nonobstructive dilation of urinary tract.
Two cases of diabetes insipidus (hypothalamic and nephrogenic) with massive nonobstructive trabeculation and dilation of the bladder and hydroureteronephrosis are reported. The cases are evaluated thoroughly--radiologically and urodynamically. Treatment options are discussed, including the use of an important new drug, dDAVP. The general subject of diabetes insipidus and its urologic implications is reviewed.
