Abstract
- Cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSW) is characterized by excessive natriuresis leading to hyponatremia and hypovolemia. It is commonly encountered among patients who have undergone brain trauma or subarachnoid hemorrhage. The occurrence of CSW after neurosurgical procedures has been frequently reported in the pediatric age group; however, it is a rare phenomenon in adults. We describe the case of a 59-year-old female who developed symptoms of polyuria and polydipsia after a right occipital craniotomy.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.<br /> (Copyright © 2023, Ugwendum et al.)
