AbstractEighteen patients aged between 14 and 60 years suffering from diabetes insipidus were studied. Diabetes insipidus was diagnosed by means of Robertson's test. All patients underwent C.T. scanning and evaluation of PRL basally and after TRH (200 mcg e.v.). Twelve patients (66%) showed neurological lesions (secondary central diabetes insipidus). Six of these patients had hyperprolactinaemia. Our data suggest that most of central diabetes insipidus are associated with central system nervous (S.N.C.) damage. In same cases the presence of hyperprolactinaemia suggests a brain damage. Therefore neuroradiological study is very important in all cases of neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus.
