  • Title: [Severe hyponatremia in acute porphyria. Central pontine myelinolysis as a complication of its treatment].
    Author: Duhalde M, Téllez R, Michaud P, Sepúlveda E.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 1990 Oct; 118(10):1129-34. PubMed ID: 2152632.
    Abstract:
    Two patients developed severe hyponatremia attributed to inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion during a crisis of acute porphyria, and were treated with intravenous hypertonic sodium solution. One of them developed clinical and radiological findings of pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis, which may constitute a risk in the treatment of this complication.
