Hyponatremia is a common admission diagnosis in our medical wards. Acute hyponatremia can cause cerebral dysfunction due to cerebral edema and rapid correction can give rise to dreaded complication Central Pontine Myelinolysis. In my previous post i have discussed a case of hyponatremia and its management.
This article is a excellent review of hyponatremia and brain.
