Summary A patient with severe diabetes insipidus for 14 years was found to have an enlarged and eroded sella turcica with greatly reduced pituitary tissue on pneumo-encephalography.

Thyroid and pituitary-adrenal function nevertheless remained good, which accounts for persistence of the diabetes insipidus.
