Summary:Objective: The purpose of this study is to report the case of intracranial germ cell tumor-induced central diabetes insipidus (CDI) in a child treated with Korean herbal medicine. Methods: A nine-year-old female patient diagnosed with intracranial germ cell tumor-induced CDI suffering from polyuria, polydipsia, and headache was hospitalized. Nocturia frequency and 24-hour urine volume were assessed. Results: The patient was treated with Korean medicine, including Nokyong-hwan. As a result of the 6-day inpatient treatment, nocturia frequency was decreased 3-4 times to 0-1 time, and 24-hour urine volume was decreased. Conclusion: Korean medicine, including Nokyong-hwan, may be considered an optional treatment for releasing the symptoms of intracranial germ cell tumor-induced CDI. Further studies are needed to confirm this finding.
