Pituitary macroadenoma presenting as recurrent hyponatremia : A Rare case presentation
Dr. Dnyaneshwar V Jadhav, Dr. Nilesh Lomte, Dr. Rohit Walse
Abstract :
Hyponatremia, defined as plasma Na+< 135 mM, is a commonly occurring electrolyte imbalance seen in almost 22 % of hospitalized patients. Need prompt diagnosis and management as it is potentially life threatening condition. Presentation of pituitary adenoma varies but microadenoma will be generally asymptomatic and macroadenoma will present with compressive symptoms. We report a 66 year old male patient who presented with recurrent hyponatremia secondary to non–functioning pituitary macroadenoma rather than compressive feature, which recovered after surgical removal of adenoma.
