title: [Pregnancy-induced diabetes insipidus].
abstract: A case of transient diabetes insipidus in pregnancy occurring in a 26 year-old woman is reported, and possible mechanisms leading to this disorder are considered. Delivery of a healthy boy was uneventful after induction of labor with prostin, and the condition remitted spontaneously shortly after delivery, following a short period of exogenous desmopressin administration. A water deprivation test confirmed undetectable serum ADH values, presumably due to temporary inappropriate ADH secretion or excessive vasopressinase activity.
