Abstract: Wolfram Syndrome, also known as Wolfram syndrome or DIDMOAD (diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness), is a rare progressive genetic disorder that affects multiple body systems. It is named after Don J. Wolfram, an English physician who first described the condition in 1938. The syndrome may be associated with optic atrophy, hearing loss, as well as neurological impairment, kidney problems, cerebellar atrophy, and psychiatric disorders.The present study aims to describe the case of a male patient from Maringá-PR diagnosed with this syndrome, highlighting the perspective of patients and their families in understanding clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and how to cope with this syndrome today. It presents a comprehensive and detailed approach to exploring the relationship between clinical notes, medical records, and test results in the context of related research. The results of clinical, laboratory, and imaging studies will be carefully evaluated to correlate the findings with the progression of the clinical condition. The case report on Wolfram Syndrome not only shares valuable information about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of this disorder but also raises awareness about the existence of rare and complex diseases. Society, in general, is often unaware of these conditions and their implications, which can lead to a lack of support and understanding from the community.
