Central diabetes insipidus caused by nonspecific chronic inflammation of the hypothalamus: case report.
A case of central diabetes insipidus (DI) caused by non-specific chronic inflammation of the hypothalamus was reported. As the central DI was associated with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy with an immunogenic predisposition, and human leukocyte antigen class I antigen A2 and class II antigen DR4 were found, it might be a case of autoimmune reaction.
