Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease associated with xerostomia and xerophthalmia. The association of Sjogren's with hyponatremia has rarely been reported and has been attributed to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion. Here, we report a case of polydipsia secondary to xerostomia as a cause of chronic hyponatremia in the setting of Sjogren's syndrome. Analysis of the patient's medical record, including medication reconciliation and dietary habits, revealed several underlying causes of her recurrent hyponatremia. A thorough review of the patient's clinical history and good bedside examination may reduce prolonged hospitalizations and improve the quality of life of a hyponatremic population of patients who are predominantly elderly.

Unlabelled: The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a common cause of euvolemic hyponatremia, resulting from non-osmotic release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). SIADH is frequently associated with neurological conditions, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI-associated SIADH usually develops within days to weeks and resolves within a few weeks.

Article Synopsis
- - A 13-year-old girl diagnosed with SIADH (Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone) after restrictive eating had normal initial brain MRIs, later revealing olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) 2.5 years post-diagnosis.
- - Initial treatments for SIADH included fluid restriction, which was somewhat effective, but the condition recurred post-surgery for ONB, indicating persistence of SIADH even after successful tumor removal.
- - The case emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to consider the possibility of ONB when evaluating children with unexplained SIADH, recommending earlier imaging and endoscopy if no clear cause is found.

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.
