Abstract
A case of recurrent spontaneous hypothermia in a patient with corpus c allosum agenesis (Shapiro syndrome) is reported. Mild diabetes insipid us was also a feature. Bromocriptine reduced the rate of occurrence an d severity of hypothermic episodes, whereas antiepileptic agents were ineffective. Several etiopathogenic hypotheses are discussed in the li ght of this case.
