Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus presenting with developmental delay and intracranial calcification.

ABSTRACT

A one-year-boy presented with constipation, fever, failure to thrive and developmental delay from the neonatal period. Investigations revealed persistent hypernatremia and deranged renal functions. Diagnostic work-up was suggestive of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). Computerized tomography of head revealed calcification in the frontal, thalamic and basal ganglia region. The rare association of NDI and intracranial calcification is discussed.
