[Nelson's syndrome concomitant with Cushing's syndrome].

A case is presented of Nelson's Syndrome concomitant with Cushing's Syndrome in a female patient who underwent five years earlier bilateral adrenalectomy due to Cushing's Disease. Together with hyperpigmentation, very elevated ACTH, and intrasellar mass in CT scan, plasma cortisol levels without rythm and not suppressible were observed as well as increased cortisol in urine. The macroadenoma was resected though the sphenoid and later hypophysis radiotherapy was given, with a clinical remission and biochemical improvement of the syndrome. At the present time, slightly elevated ACTH levels persist, with panhypopituitarism and empty sella turcica. The clinical picture is described and a literature search is carried out.

[Description of Wolfram syndrome (DIDMOAD) on the basis of a new case].

We present a new clinical case of a 25-year-old man with Wolfram's syndrome. Partial central diabetes insipidus was found to cause polyuria, polydipsia and enuresis. The patient had diabetes mellitus for the last 18 years, controlled with diet and/or chlorpropamide during 10 years and showed no typical complications of the disease. The patient was also shown to have a dilated urinary tract and perceptive hypoacusis for high frequencies. The fifth classical component of this syndrome, primary optic atrophy, was not found. Based on the report of this case, Wolfram's syndrome is briefly described.
