Persistent high MR signal of the posterior pituitary gland in central diabetes insipidus.
Maghnie M, Genovese E, Bernasconi S, Binda S, Arico M.
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1997;18(9):1749-52.
In the first case (idiopathic), the posterior pituitary signal persisted more than 10 years; in the second case (Langerhans cell histiocytosis), the signal disappeared within 3 months, despite early specific chemotherapy with etoposide; and in the third case (transient), the posterior signal disappeared within 1 year, but it was documented at the time of spontaneous reversal of polyuria and polydipsia.
