ABSTRACT
The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) can occur from a variety of neurologic and systemic processes; however, it has rarely been seen in multiple sclerosis (MS). We report a case of SIADH in a patient with MS and compare it with previously reported English-only cases. A 32-year-old woman experienced generalized fatigue followed by confusion and was found to have profound hyponatremia. Her work-up demonstrated SIADH secondary to a discrete enhancing hypothalamic lesion. Despite the seldom occurrence of SIADH in MS, hypothalamic lesions are more common than appreciated and should be considered in patients presenting with hyponatremia or endocrinopathy symptoms.
