N2 - A male infant, who initially presented with hypernatraemia and hypercalcaemia, was subsequently found to have central diabetes insipidus, hypoadrenalism and hypothyroidism. Neuro-endocrine evaluation suggested a hypothalamic or combined hypothalamic-pituitary defect. Computerized tomography of the septum pellucidum was normal. Abnormal water and electrolyte homeostasis and proximal renal tubular acidosis were corrected by hormone replacement therapy.
