Background:

Polydipsia, excessive thirst, can manifest in infants due to various underlying conditions.
Acquired polydipsia in infants is uncommon, presenting diagnostic challenges.
Understanding the etiology of excessive thirst is crucial for appropriate infant care.

Observation:

A case of acquired polydipsia in an infant is presented.
The infant's presentation was atypical, with late onset and absence of anorexia or vomiting.
Notably, the infant maintained a normal salt-water balance, differing from typical water intoxication cases.

Findings:

The infant experienced acquired polydipsia with an unusual clinical presentation.
The condition resolved favorably following a progressive conditioning treatment regimen.

Normal salt-water balance was maintained throughout the observation period.

Implications:

This case highlights the diverse presentations of polydipsia in infants.
It suggests that acquired polydipsia can occur without the typical signs of water intoxication.
Effective management may involve behavioral or conditioning approaches in specific infant cases.
