We have studied an infant (female) with a persisting hypernatremia and adipsia, examined for the first time at the age of five months. The funtional test carried out showed an insensibility of the osmoreceptors for very important changes in POsm. carryng with them a lack of response of the ADH. Neuroradiological studies demostrated hydrocephalia secondary to a stenosis of the aqueduct of Silvio. Treatment with chlorpropamide proved effective. The literature is being revised comparing out results with those of other authors.

The case of a five months-old child who received 44 mg/Kg of Fe-sorbitol I.M. by mistake is reported. That dose is about ten times the usual standard dosage. After an initial vague symptomatology, followed by transitory improvement, she developed a serious metabolic acidosis, renal and hepatic failure and generalized convulsions. The clinical picture could not be controlled by general supportive treatment, desferroxamine administration and exanguino-transfusion.
