Abstract
Surgical treatment of craniopharyngiomas in children can produce disorders related to water and sodium such as central diabetes insipidus (CDI) and cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSWS). The combination of both in children is unusually reported in the literature and is associated with high mortality. The management of CSWS is based on fluid therapy. Fludrocortisone is useful in children with CSWS who do not respond to fluid management. The objective of the paper is to describe the case of 6 years and 10 months old male child with hypopituitarism secondary to a craniopharyngioma surgery performed 7 months before, who presented to the emergency department due to recurrent craniopharyngioma. The child presented a combination of CDI and CSWS following surgery for this recurrent tumor. Therapy with fludrocortisone was effective. Pediatric patients as the one of this report can help build the foundation for subsequent systematic reviews or trials.
期刊介绍:
SAGE Open Medical Case Reports (indexed in PubMed Central) is a peer reviewed, open access journal. It aims to provide a publication home for short case reports and case series, which often do not find a place in traditional primary research journals, but provide key insights into real medical cases that are essential for physicians, and may ultimately help to improve patient outcomes. SAGE Open Medical Case Reports does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers are subject to rigorous peer review and are selected on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, SAGE Open Medical Case Reports facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers, whether within or between disciplines. Case reports can span the full spectrum of medicine across the health sciences in the broadest sense, including: Allergy/Immunology Anaesthesia/Pain Cardiovascular Critical Care/ Emergency Medicine Dentistry Dermatology Diabetes/Endocrinology Epidemiology/Public Health Gastroenterology/Hepatology Geriatrics/Gerontology Haematology Infectious Diseases Mental Health/Psychiatry Nephrology Neurology Nursing Obstetrics/Gynaecology Oncology Ophthalmology Orthopaedics/Rehabilitation/Occupational Therapy Otolaryngology Palliative Medicine Pathology Pharmacoeconomics/health economics Pharmacoepidemiology/Drug safety Psychopharmacology Radiology Respiratory Medicine Rheumatology/ Clinical Immunology Sports Medicine Surgery Toxicology Urology Women''s Health.
