Abstract

The DIDMOAD syndrome is a combination of diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, optic atrophy and labyrinthine deafness. The inheritance is autosomalrecessive. Diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities are discussed on the basis of a further case of this pathogenetically not yet clarified disease pattern. Early detection of this syndrome in juvenile diabetics is important for long-term prognosis and genetic family advice.
