ABSTRACT
Delayed hyponatraemia(DH) is a common complication following trans-sphenoidal surgery(TSS) for pituitary tumour. We evaluated the prevalence of DH following TSS, and assessed the factors associated with DH, including early post-operative diabetes insipidus(EPDI). This retrospective study included 100 TSS for pituitary tumours in 98 patients, over a period of 26 months. Subjects were divided into two groups those who developed hyponatraemia and those who did not develop hyponatraemia, during post-operative days 4 to 14. The clinical characteristics and peri-operative parameters were compared between the two groups, to identify factors predicting DH. The mean age of the patients was 42.0±13.6 years, 58 (59%) were females and 61 (61%) had functional tumours. Thirty-six patients(36%) developed DH following TSS of whom majority(58%) were diagnosed on post-operative days 7 and 8; only 8/36 (22%) were symptomatic. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion(SIADH) was found to be the most common aetiology of DH. On logistic regression analysis, intra-operative cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) leak (OR 5.0; 95% CI 1.9-13.8; p=0.002), EPDI (OR 3.4; 95% CI 1.3-9.2; p=0.015) and peri-operative steroid use (OR 3.6; 95% CI 1.3-9.8; p=0.014) were found to be significantly associated with DH. In conclusion, EPDI, intra-operative CSF leak and peri-operative steroid use were significant predictors of DH. EPDI predicts moderate to severe hyponatraemia with 80% specificity but has low sensitivity(47%). As most patients have asymptomatic hyponatraemia, serum sodium measurement on POD 7 to 10 would be helpful to identify DH in patients at increased risk.
