ABSTRACT
Mauriac syndrome is a rare complication of poorly managed insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
It is characterized by dwarfism, obesity, delayed puberty, cushingoid features, hepatomegaly and elevated transaminases. Although rare in developed countries, cases are seen in developing states where patients are not well aware about self management of type I diabetes mellitus. We present a 19 year old female of type 1 diabetes mellitus with chronic poor glycemic control with features of mauriac syndrome from northern himalayan region. Strict management of glycemic control can reverse the condition and may lead to better outcome.
Keywords: Mauriac syndrome, type I diabetes mellitus, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
