| Popis: | Mauriac syndrome is a rare syndrome associated with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) in children presenting with growth retardation, hepatomegaly, and cushingoid features. Recently, there has been re-emergence of this syndrome, especially with the use of premix insulin. A 15-year old type 1 diabetic boy, who was on premix insulin with erratic blood glucose, was referred to us for evaluation of short stature. He had significant short stature, hepatomegaly, and cushingoid features. His growth hormone (GH) stimulation was normal, and so was the overnight dexamethasone suppression test, based on which the diagnosis of Mauriac syndrome was reported. He was made to switch over to basal bolus regime, and was advised to follow-up for 6 months. He had reduction in hepatomegaly and a height gain of 3 cms. |
