CONNECTION BETWEEN SEIZURE AND SALT
Journal Title: Stanley Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Hyponatremia in the presence of a CNS disease is a known phenomenon . The syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion – SIADH & Cerebral salt wasting – CSW are two potential causes of hyponatremia in patients with disorder of the CNS . The primary distinction lies in the assessment of the effective arterial blood volume – EABV .Making an accurate diagnosis is important because the treatment of each condition is different . Vigorous salt and fluid replacement is required in patients with CSW , whereas fluid restriction is the treatment in patients with SIADH . In this review we present a case report of a patient who presented to us with seizures which later turned out to be a case of cerebral salt wasting.
