Short Stature with Type-1 Diabetes: A Clinically Observed Case in Patients Suffering From Mauriac Syndrome

Abstract

Mauriac syndrome (MS) is an exceptionally rare disorder occurring in poorly controlled Type-1 diabetic patients. The consequences include dwarfism, obesity, hepatomegaly, delayed puberty, growth failure and higher levels of transaminase enzyme. We report a case of an adolescent female with classical features of Mauriac syndrome.
