A 30 year old man with DIDMOAD (diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy and deafness) syndrome associated with myocardial disease is reported. Echocardiographic study revealed a marked symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. Histology of the endomyocardial biopsy specimen from the right ventricle showed severe glycogen deposition in the myocytes. This case may indicate that DIDMOAD syndrome is a hereditary systemic disease affecting multiple organs, including the myocardium. |
