  • Title: [Tubercular meningitis with severe hyponatraemia caused by cerebral salt wasting].
    Author: Tinggaard J, Schmidt IM, Kristensen K.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2011 Sep 12; 173(37):2273-4. PubMed ID: 21917230.
    Abstract:
    We describe two children, who were admitted with severe hyponatraemia and dehydration. In both children the hyponatraemia was due to cerebral salt wasting caused by tubercular meningitis. Differential diagnosis and pathophysiology is discussed. It is important to discriminate between cerebral salt wasting and inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone since the therapy required is completely different in the two conditions.
