It is shown a case of a 11 years old child examined in Niño Jesus' Hospital in Barranquilla city with signs of Mauriac's syndrome. That syndrome is describing as a complicacy in patients diagnosed with type 1 mellitus diabetes that aren't metabolically controlled and is characterized by a presence of hepatomegaly, elevation of transaminases, pubertal delay and physical changes cuchingoides related. There are not enough bibliographic references published in the last years because their morbidity is too low due to the glucemic self-monitoring, and the interference of new insulins and premature diagnosis.
