Defects of Membranous Bones, Exophthalmos and Diabetes Insipidus

Xanthomatosis and the Central Nervous System

“…Neurologic Findings and Autopsy Reports : Records of neurologic symptoms and signs, in addition to diabetes insipidus, are to be found in the cases of Dietrich,13 Veit,14 Thompson, Keegan and Dunn, 15 Kyrklund,16 Herzenberg,8 Chiari 4 and in my case. Changes in the dura as observed at autopsy were recorded in the cases mentioned and in those of Griffith (Weidman-Freeman) and Rowland (table).…”

“…Changes in the dura as observed at autopsy were recorded in the cases mentioned and in those of Griffith (Weidman-Freeman) and Rowland (table). The only cases reported in which the study of the neural structures received special attention are those described by Thompson, Keegan and Dunn, 15 Kyrklund,16 and Weidman and Freeman17 (Griffith's case).…”

Reticulondothelial Granuloma: A Review with a Report of a Case of Letterer-Siwe Disease

“…Considerable attention has been paid to the location of the granulomatous deposits which could have caused diabetes insipidus. Thompson, Keegan, and Dunn (1925) reported inflammatory changes in the brain near the tuber cinereum and in the pituitary gland, while Dietrich (1913) had also found granulomatous tissues around the hypophysis. Horsfall and Smith (1935) thought that diabetes insipidus resulted from granulomatous lesions in the region of the tuber cinereum and not in the sella turcica.…”
