Abstract

Mauriac syndrome is a rare complication of poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus and is characterized by hepatomegaly with altered liver enzymes, delayed puberty, growth retardation, and cushingoid features, seen in children. Being a chronic condition, warranting frequent hospitalization, and invasive testing and management, one should always look out for the possibility of comorbid depression, enabling timely diagnosis and treatment. Here, we report the case of 14-year-old male with Mauriac Syndrome having comorbid major depressive disorder being well maintained on escitalopram.
