Summary:
Wolfram Syndrome ( DIDMOAD) is a rare genetic disorder
presenting with Diabetes Insipidus, Diabetes Mellitus,
Optic Atrophy, Deafness and some other neurological ,
reproductive , hormonal, urological and psychic
problems. About 200 cases have been reported so far. Here
we present a 25 years old Bangladeshi male having early
onset Diabetes Mellitus, optic atrophy, deafness and many
other features consistent with Wolfram Syndrome. We
examined the patient thoroughly and did necessary
investigations to confirm our diagnosis. As there is no
cure of this disorder, we gave symptomatic and supportive
treatment to the patient to make his life easier. Although
the outcome is unrewarding , such patients will be kept in
regular follow up for early detection of new complications
and possible solutions.
Keywords: Wolfram Syndrome, Diabetes insipidus, Diabetes
