We report a 22-year-old male patient with untreated seizure disorder, presenting with increased frequency of seizures followed by encephalopathy. Laboratory evaluation showed severe hypernatremia (175 meq/l sodium), rhabdomyolysis, and acute renal failure (ARF). Excessive insensible water loss in
Neurologic disease associated with hypernatremia in 2 young Vietnamese potbellied pigs is discussed. Both pigs had recent dietary changes likely associated with excessive salt intake. Case 1 was changed from a commercial mini pig ration to a commercial cat food diet containing up to 1.5% salt 3-4
Background: Hypernatremia due to salt poisoning is clinically rare and standard care procedures have not been established. We report a case of salt poisoning due to massive intake of seasoning soy sauce.
Serum sodium (Na) concentration more than 145 mmol/L is defined as hypernatremia. Hypernatremia carries an acute morbidity and mortality, especially in neonates and infants. Rapid correction of hypernatremia leads to severe cerebral damages, and seizure is the most common neurological complication
BACKGROUND
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is the most common developmental defect of the forebrain and mid-face in humans. It is a disorder of neural induction in which a genetic programming defect results in noncleavage of the forebrain in the sagittal plane and variable hypoplasia of paramedian
Two male newborns developed severe life threatening hypernatremia with serum sodium levels of 181 and 196 meq/l respectively. Both children were fed a two-to fivefold concentrated powdered infant formula since birth. Shortly before admission diarrhea developed in both patients. The children were
Hypernatremia may be produced under several different circumstances but most frequently is the result of excessive water loss with diarrhea and the excessive solute load secondary to inappropriate preparation of formula. The clinical manifestations vary and depend primarily on the degree of
Hypernatremia (sodium chloride intoxication) is described in two calves due to presumed mixing errors of oral electrolyte solutions while undergoing therapy for neonatal diarrhea. The experimental induction of hypernatremia in two clinically normal calves is also reported. Physical findings in
BACKGROUND
Chronic hypernatremia is a rare disorder in childhood and normally results from impairment of the water homeostasis. In some cases, chronic hypernatremia is caused by decreased intake of water based on impaired thirst perception.
METHODS
We report a girl with microcephaly, partial
We report a child with diabetes insipidus and hypodipsia associated with holoprosencephaly. A two-year-old girl with the history of several admittances to hospital during and after the newborn period with hypernatremic dehydration, acute renal failure and convulsions is presented. The patient had
The aim of this study was to evaluate the etiology, clinical, and laboratory findings and prognostic features of life-threatening hypernatremic newborns secondary to salting. Ten severely hypernatremic newborns (four females) with a mean age of 6.5 +/- 2.6 days were followed up. Nine of them were
Hydatid cyst, frequent in sheep raising countries, is a parasitic disease caused by a cestode, Echinococcus granulosus, and is spread to man by dog feces. A hydatid cyst, 7x8 cm in diameter, located on the dome of the liver of a 48 year old male patient was removed by thoracotomy. During the
Hypernatremia is a common electrolyte abnormality, but it is rarely attributable to excess sodium. Hypernatremia due to exogenous salt intake, caused either by accidental ingestion or as a form of child abuse, is rare, difficult to manage and results in high mortality. Although hypernatremia is
