Glycogenic hepatopathy, also known as Mauriac syndrome, is a rare complication of type 1 diabetes characterized by extreme enlargement of the liver from glycogen deposition, along with growth failure and delayed puberty. It occurs in some children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes regardless of how well their blood sugar is controlled.
