A Pregnant Woman with Excess Vasopressinase-Induced Diabetes Insipidus Complicated by Central Diabetes Insipidus like Lymphocytic Infundibulo-Neurohypophysitis by Shinnosuke Yanagisawa, Yoichi Oikawa, Mai Endo, Kazuyuki Inoue, Ritsuko Nakajima, Shigemitsu Yasuda, Masayasu Sato, Naoko Iwata, Haruki Fujisawa, Atsushi Suzuki, Yoshihisa Sugimura, Masashi Isshiki, Akira Shimada

“…The patient’s serum vasopressinase level just before delivery was 2,855 ng/mL, more than 1,000 times the upper limit of the normal range, suggesting excess vasopressinase-induced DI. The presence of anti-rabphilin-3A antibodies in the patient’s blood, a hypertonic saline infusion test result, and loss of the high-intensity signal of the posterior pituitary on fat-suppressed T1-weighted magnetic resonance images without thickening of the stalk and enlargement of the neurohypophysis suggested concurrent central DI-like lymphocytic infundibulo-neurohypophysitis (LINH). …”
