Abstract
|
|
|
|
Severe hyponatremia (serum sodium concentration <120 mEq/L) is a well-known etiology of acute symptomatic seizure. Severe hyponatremia may occur as a rare but clinically important adverse reaction of psychotrophic drugs. Among them, patients with psychogenic polydipsia have especially higher risk of severe hyponatremia. We present a schizophrenic patient with polydipsia who developed severe hyponatremia and symptomatic seizures while receiving olanzapine treatment.
