Abstract :
Adipsic diabetes insipidus (ADI) is a rare and challenging complication secondary to several neurosurgical procedures. It can lead to severe hyperosmolarity and is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Considering the variable time of thirst sensation recovery, long-term treatment is accompanied with the risk of extreme extracellular osmolality fluctuations. Herein, we report 3 cases of this rare presentation of hypothalamic injury.
