Abstract
Three children who presented with two rare conditions, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and intracerebral calcification, were studied. The lack of evidence for the presence of a metabolic defect other than nephrogenic diabetes insipidus suggests that it can lead to the development of intracerebral calcification. Perhaps the main risk factor is inadequate fluid intake during early infancy.
