Biedl showed a pair of siblings with adiposo-genital dystrophy next to the illustration of a third case. Alteration in the hypophysis as well as signs of a brain tumor or pathological brain pressure are completely absent and congenital deformations (retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly, and anal atresia), as well as characteristic signs of an obstruction of cerebral development, of which the main point expresses itself in the existence of an unusual intellectual torpidity. In one case in particular the reduced principle of the gas exchange is detectable. Strikingly unusual indigestion. This new symptom complex will be traced back to a primary developmental obstacle of the brain and especially of the metabolic center of recovered brain region. It will be placed as a pathogenetic extreme of the pure hypophyses and pure cerebral form. For among the greater number of cases of adiposo genital dystrophy, it will be accepted that the pathogenetic momen, is a tumor of the hypophyses or in that neighborhood, or a pathological brain pressure of the hypophyses on one side, and of the mid brain on the other side. The same malfunction takes place when the irritant of the intermediary secretions doesn’t unleash its effect on the midbrain center or when this center itself becomes disrupted in its operation. An analogous assessment demands also that the diabetes insipidus can occur, as purely hypophyseal or purely cerebral, through the disruption of the realm of the Tubercle cinereum which regulates water centers.
