A case of hypodipsic hypernatremia in a 16-month-old Japanese boy is reported. Partial antidiuretic hormone deficiency was present. Computed tomography of the brain revealed absence of septum lucidum. No ophthalmological abnormality could be found. He had hyposmia, which has not been reported previously in association with hypernatremia due to hypodipsia. Forced fluid administration and nasal 1-deamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin treatment could maintain serum electrolyte levels within normal ranges. However, episodes of hypernatremia could not be completely avoided while he was treated with 1-deamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin and ad libitum oral fluid.
