Article Synopsis
- - Surgical treatment of craniopharyngiomas in kids can lead to serious conditions like central diabetes insipidus (CDI) and cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSWS), which together are rare and can be deadly.
- - The article discusses a specific case of a 6-year-old boy who developed CDI and CSWS after surgery for a recurring tumor, highlighting the challenges of managing these conditions.
- - Fludrocortisone was effective in treating the child’s CSWS, and this case could contribute to future research on managing similar pediatric conditions.
