abstract={Pituitary and suprasellar lesions can cause diabetes insipidus due to interruption of pathways carrying vasopressin and oxytocin to pituitary. Central diabetes insipidus is characterized by polyuria and polydipsia and is a direct result of deficiency of vasopressin. Midline mass lesions in brain and body warrant further workup for possible diagnosis of germ cell tumors. We present an interesting case of a young man with suprasellar brain lesion and diabetes insipidus with pan hypopituitarism where further workup revealed germinoma. Patient had a favorable outcome with surgery followed by radiation therapy.},
