Water balance disorders after neurosurgery: the triphasic response revisited
Water balance disorders after neurosurgery are well recognized, but detailed reports of the triphasic response are scarce. We describe a 55-year-old woman, who developed the triphasic response with severe hyper- and hyponatraemia after resection of a suprasellar meningioma. The case illustrates how sudden and dramatic the changes in water balance after neurosurgery can be. The biochemical profi...
متن کاملHyponatremia and hypernatremia: disorders of water balance.
Total body water and tonicity is tightly regulated by renal action of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), reninangiotensin-aldosterone system, norepinephrine and by the thirst mechanism. Abnormalities in water balance are manifested as sodium disturbances--hyponatremia and hypernatremia. Hyponatremia ([Na+ < 136 meq/ l]) is a common abnormality in hospitalized patients and is associated with increased ...
متن کاملKey Roles of Renal Aquaporins in Water Balance and Water-Balance Disorders.
The discovery of aquaporins by Agre and co-workers provided an answer to the long-standing biophysical question of how water can pass cell membranes. The identification and characterization of several aquaporins expressed in the kidney has allowed detailed insight, at the molecular level, into the fundamental physiology and pathophysiology of renal water metabolism.
متن کاملEditorial Neurosurgery for psychiatric disorders
Daring must be an inborn trait. Egas Moniz, the neurolo-gist who extrapolated from the abolition of experimental neurosis in two chimpanzees to the invention of a procedure to ablate pathways of the frontal lobes in mentally ill human beings, had already developed angiog-raphy and spent time in jail for opposition to the Portugese monarchy 1. Such a man could write, in recording the results in ...
متن کاملStereotactic neurosurgery for movement disorders.
Stereotactic neurosurgery for the treatment of movement disorders focuses primarily on the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD), essential tremor (ET), and dystonia. The surgical targets in use are the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the globus pallidus internus (GPi) for PD, GPi for dystonia, and ventralis intermedius (Vim) nucleus of the thalamus for ET. Following target selection, procedures ...
