Malnutrition Despite Adequate Nutrient Intake: A Clue For Diencephalic Syndrome
Genel tıp dergisi(2022)
Abstract
Diencephalic syndrome is characterized by excessive weight loss and subcutaneous fatty tissue loss, hyperactivity, euphoria, and hypervigilance observed in early childhood. It usually accompanies space-occupying neoplastic lesions of the hypothalamic–optochiasmatic region. There is an inverse relationship between mass size and weight gain. In this case report, a patient aged 1 year and 2 months with hypothalamic–optochiasmatic glioma was presented. We aimed to draw attention to diencephalic syndrome, which is a rare cause of weight gain and vomiting.
