ABSTRACT

Wolfram syndrome is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with an autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by the presence of diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy, diabetes insipidus and neurosensorial deafness can also be present, explaining the acronym DIDMOAD (diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy and deafness).The syndrome shows some various clinical manifestations such as urinary tract dilation and, neurological, psychiatric and gonadal disorders.The early onset diabetes mellitus, a low prevalence of ketoacidosis and an optic atrophy are considered key diagnostic criteria in this syndrome. It occurs during childhood what leads to a bigger diagnostic and therapeutic difficulty, with an elevated morbi-mortality and deterioration of the quality of life due to the neurological and urological affectations. Two brother patients with Wolfram syndrome and his ophthalmological manifestations were reported, whose diagnosis was made by the presence of diabetes mellitus in the first decade of life and bilateral optic atrophy, now they are 18 and 11 years old.
