Introduction: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant tumor originating from the olfactory neuroepithelium, typically within the sinonasal cavity. Cases of ONB originating outside of the olfactory cleft area are extremely rare and are referred to as "ectopic" (eONB), in contrast to "orthotopic" tumors (oONB). ONB has been associated with paraneoplastic syndromes (PNSs), including the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder in the hospital setting and is defined as a serum sodium concentration less than 135 mmol/l.

Serum sodium concentrations between 120 and 129 mmol/l can be associated with lack of concentration, nausea, forgetfulness, apathy and loss of balance.
