A 52-year-old woman presented with polyuria and polydipsia. A diagnosis of central diabetes insipidus (DI) was made, which turned out to be the first sign of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Cytogenetic analysis revealed a balanced translocation between chromosome 3 and 12 t(3;12)(q26;p12). The patient was treated with standard induction chemotherapy and vasopressin. Before consolidation chemotherapy could be administered, deep venous thrombosis was diagnosed and leukemia relapsed. Rescue chemotherapy was started. This is the first report of an association between AML with t(3;12) and DI. Its possible pathogenesis is discussed with a review of the literature.

Incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus is continuing to rise in children. The presentation of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children with newly diagnosed diabetes is significantly higher in those less than 5 years old. Critically ill patients admitted to Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU), would have a central venous line (CVL) inserted as part of their ongoing management. There are associations linking with the development of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in DKA/CVL patients. An 18-month-old boy presented with a short history of polydypsia, polyuria and weight loss. The initial blood sugar was 27.0 mmol/L and a venous blood gas showed severe metabolic acidosis. He was diagnosed and treated for DKA. He was transferred to the regional PICU for further management. There, a central venous line (CVL) was inserted in his left femoral vein. This was removed on Day 4. Subsequently, he developed a swelling on his left leg, with significant discrepancy in leg circumference. Doppler ultrasound confirmed a deep venous thrombosis. Conclusion Diabetes has a propensity for hypercoagulability and DKA promotes a prothrombotic state. Retrospective studies have shown younger patients with DKA and a femoral CVL are at higher risk of developing DVT. A central femoral line should avoided in such patients. DVT prophylaxis and Doppler follow up should also be considered.
