Abstract
Neuroendocrine dysfunctions are among the various complications that occur after traumatic brain injury. We report a case of onset of diabetes insipidus during acute rehabilitation of a 20-yr-old patient with a traumatic brain injury caused by a gunshot wound. Our case is the latest onset of diabetes insipidus after traumatic brain injury that has been reported in the literature.
