SummaryThe syndrome of inappropriate ADH-secretion (SIADH) is a common cause of low
sodium levels with diverse aetiology. Here, we report a case of a 41 years old
male patient diagnosed with SIADH and a good response to Tolvaptan therapy. Of
interest, as a potential unique cause, magnetic resonance imaging revealed a
micronodular structure in the posterior pituitary, while no other common cause
of SIADH could be identified. Hence, to the best of our knowledge, this is the
first case of a Tolvaptan-responsive SIADH associated with a pituitary
micronodular structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
