Abstract

|
|
Transient diabetes insipidus (DI) is an uncommon pregnancy-related condition which results from the excessive placental vasopressinase activity. Imaging of brain usually reveals hyper-intense signal in posterior pituitary gland. Extrapontine myelinolysis with elevated creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) secondary to hypernatremia of gestational diabetes insipidus as seen in our patient, is rarely reported. This case report describes remarkable improvement in a 28 year old primigravida who presented with gait disturbance with elevated CPK and high sodium.
