Abstract

Mauriac syndrome is an uncommon side effect of poorly controlled adolescent diabetes mellitus. We present the case of a 17-year-old patient with type 1 diabetes who was admitted to the hospital because of a serious hyper glycemic imbalance. A failure to thrive and hepatomegaly were noted during the clinical assessment. Biological investigations revealed anicteric cholestasis, severe cytolysis, and hyperglycemia. The foundation of the care was provided by insulin and hydration therapies. The etiological examination for liver dysfunction produced negative results. Biology and medicine have positively evolved. The diagnosis of hepatic glycogenesis was upheld in light of several anamnestic and clinical evidences, as well as the absence of further abnormalities linked to hepatic disorders. The outcome was elevated blood sugar. Blood transaminases were also increased. An abdominal ultrasound indicated homogeneous hepatomegaly. Viral hepatitis serology and immunological testing came back negative, and a liver biopsy confirmed the hepatocyte ballooning. Given the favorable outcomes observed during high-dose insulin treatment, the diagnosis of Mauriac syndrome was retained.
