Abstract:
The most common cause of hyponatremia in hospitalized patients is syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) characterized by water retention leading to decreased serum sodium concentration and osmolality. Since the report of Schwartz and his co-workers1), this syndrome has been described in various clinical settings. There are some reports on SIADH associated with Guillain-Barre syndrome in the literature2-6). However, to our knowledge, there was only one reported case of SIADH associated with Guillain-Barre syndrome in Korea
