Central diabetes insipidus after total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo‐oophrectomy: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Postoperative polyuria due to diabetes insipidus (DI) is commonly reported complication of pituitary surgery. However, central DI postabdominal surgery is rare and related to unmasking of pre‐existing DI or prolonged surgery with significant intraoperative blood loss. A thorough workup needs to be performed to exclude central DI in such patients.
