ABSTRACT
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is a haematological malignancy that occurs due to an increased proliferation of mature B lymphocytes. It is considered to be the most common leukaemia in adults. Hyponatremia is commonly seen in such patients. This case report is about a 75-year-old male, who presented with giddiness, followed by altered sensorium. However, the patient had no motor weakness or sensory loss. Initially, a diagnosis of posterior circulation stroke was made but Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain did not show associated signs. The routine investigations showed highly elevated total leukocyte count and hyponatremia. The patient was worked up for malignancy and diagnosed with Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Oncology reference was taken and treated with tablet Ibrutinib. On discharge, the patient's mentation improved, and he is on regular follow-up.
