This paper aims to introduce a patient with Chiari type 1 malformation presented with upper extremity pain and diabetes insipidus. After laboratory examinations, we confirmed our case's central diabetes insipidus diagnosis. The patient has undergone posterior fossa decompression, tonsilopexy, and duraplasty. After 6 months of follow-up, pain and diabetes insipidus were improved. We introduced a rare presentation of Chiari malformation in this article.

Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare endocrine disease involving antidiuretic hormone (ADH), encompassing both central and nephrogenic causes. Inability to respond to or produce ADH leads to inability of the kidneys to reabsorb water, resulting in hypotonic polyuria and, if lack of hydration, hypernatremia. DI cannot be cured and is an unfamiliar disease process to many clinicians.
