Abstract

We report a patient with tuberculous meningitis who presented with unusually severe hyponatremia, an electrolyte disorder that may cause symptoms similar to those of tuberculous meningitis. The hyponatremia was probably due to the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, and resolved after instituting water restriction and antituberculous medication.
