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).

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
  • - Herpes zoster occurs when the varicella-zoster virus reactivates after causing chicken pox in childhood, mainly affecting older adults and those with weakened immune systems.
  • - SIADH is characterized by the excessive release of antidiuretic hormone, leading to difficulty in excreting water and resulting in low sodium levels (hyponatremia).
  • - This case is unique because the patient displayed signs of hypovolemic hyponatremia alongside SIADH, suggesting that herpes zoster might disrupt the normal regulation of ADH in the nerve roots.
