D Atkins1, R Sanford, B Thomas, R Joyner.   

Abstract

Two children with diabetes insipidus secondary to a chronic inflammatory infiltrate of the infundibulum - infundibuloneurohypophysitis - are presented. Features unique to these cases are contrasted with prior case reports. The differential diagnoses of diabetes insipidus and inflammatory pituitary disorders are discussed. Recommendations for diagnosis and treatment are proposed.
