IIAD typically presents with insidious symptoms. Euvolaemic hyponatraemia is common at diagnosis. It is associated with autoimmune diseases, particularly primary hypothyroidism. As two patients recovered ACTH secretion, and two progressed to other pituitary hormone deficits, repeat pituitary testing should be considered, to identify recovery of function, or progression to other hormone deficits.
