The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a clinical entity of substantial heterogeneity, represented by the combination of obesity (especially central obesity),insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, atherogenic dyslipidemia (high triglyceride levels and low levels of HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C)), and hypertension. Childhood obesity has become more common as a result of urbanization, bad diets, and more sedentary lifestyles.

The incidence of metabolic syndrome is ten times higher in children with obesity, and a special risk factor is the presence of obesity in the pediatric population, the classification of metabolic syndrome is based on standards set by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF).

Our goal is to summarize the diagnostic procedure of metabolic syndrome as well as comorbidity based on conventional methods and modern imaging procedures by analyzing the published papers.

Introduction:

Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disease that occurs due to inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone from the pituitary, or as a result of disorder in which the level of the kidneys cannot adequately respond to the secretion of this hormone. Also, it is known as central diabetes insipidus. The most common causes are head traumas, tumors of the hypothalamus and pituitary glands, inflammatory processes, histiocytosis, anomalies in the development of brain. It can appear in the form of familial diabetes insipidus or in certain syndromes (Wolfram syndrome). It is characterized by hypotonic polyuria higher than 3l/24h (which persists if even taking liquids stops), then by nocturia and compensatory polydipsia. Enuresis often occurs among children.

Case report:

A boy, aged 11, lives with his mother and brothers. Mother noticed that the boy was urinating frequently in last few months (diuresis 4.6 l/24h, and 3.25 l/24h). After two months, the boy developed double images and severe headaches, vomiting, inability to see, squinting in the right eye and headache in the back of the head. MNR of the endocranium indicates the presence of a tumor formation. The tumor was surgically removed, and the boy started with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Due to persistent diabetes insipidus, the boy started using desmopressin-acetate - in tablet form. Active substance desmopressin - acts in the same way as the natural hormone vasopressin and regulates the kidney's ability to concentrate urine. The positive effect of taking the drug appeared after three weeks from the start of taking the therapy.

Conclusion:

Central (neurogenic) DI occurs as a result of a relative or absolute deficiency of antidiuretic hormone, which is responsible for the osmolality of body fluids. Based on this case, we want to show the importance of early diagnosis of the disease in order to improve the prognosis and the necessity of careful monitoring of these patients.
