Abstract
A case of a diencephalic syndrome in early infancy is presented along with a review of nine previously reported cases. This patient, as well as previously reported cases, had a glioma of the third ventricle. Massive hemorrhage secondary to a duodenal ulcer was a heretofore unreported complication. The syndrome is characterized primarily by alertness and euphoria in the presence of marked emaciation.Keywords
