Spontaneous periodic hypothermia.

A D Mooradian, G K Morley, R McGeachie

    Neurology
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Shapiro's syndrome, a rare condition, involves periodic hypothermia and water metabolism issues. These symptoms may stem from a shared cause related to arginine vasopressin, impacting both temperature regulation and water balance.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroendocrinology
    • Rare genetic disorders

    Background:

    • Shapiro's syndrome is characterized by spontaneous periodic hypothermia.
    • Associated symptoms can include polydipsia, polyuria, and hyponatremia.

    Observation:

    • A patient with Shapiro's syndrome presented with hypothermia, polydipsia, polyuria, and hyponatremia.
    • Endocrine evaluations were normal, but a water deprivation test suggested primary polydipsia.

    Findings:

    • Four out of ten reported Shapiro's syndrome cases exhibited water metabolism abnormalities.
    • The study highlights a potential link between thermoregulation and water balance disturbances.

    Implications:

    • Arginine vasopressin's role in thermoregulation suggests a common pathogenetic mechanism.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the neuroendocrine basis of Shapiro's syndrome.
