The syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion(SIADH) is a clinical disorder in which there is continual release of antidiuretic hormone(ADH) unrelated to plasma osmolality. It may occur usually in association with malignant tumors below the clavicle and other pulmonary disorders which are capable of synthesizing, storing and releasing ADH into the circulation but rarely with the head and neck tumors yet. We experienced a patient with unexplained hyponatremia associated with laryngeal carcinoma. The clinical and laboratory diagnostic studies suggested that patient's sodium deficiency was secondary to the SIADH. Subsequent resection of the neoplasm, total laryngectomy led to resolution of hyponatremia, suggesting that a tumor associated humoral factor, such as vasopressin or vasopressin like substance, was responsible for the electrolyte disturbance.

Timely diagnosis of hyponatremia is important for preventing potential morbidity and mortality as it is often an indicator of underlying disease. The most common cause of eurvolemic hyponatremia is the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) secretion. Recent studies have demonstrated that proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL) $1{\beta}$ and IL-6 are involved in the development of hyponatremia, a condition that is associated with severe inflammation and is related to antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion. Serum sodium levels in hyponatremia are inversely correlated with the percentage of neutrophils, C-reactive protein, and N-terminal-pro brain type natriuretic peptide. Additionally, elevated levels of serum IL-6 and IL-$1{\beta}$ are found in inflammatory diseases, and their levels are higher in patients with hyponatremia. Because it is significantly correlated with the degree of inflammation in children, hyponatremia could be used as a diagnostic marker of pediatric inflammatory diseases. Based on available evidence, we hypothesize that hyponatremia may be associated with inflammatory diseases in general. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for augmented ADH secretion during inflammation, monitoring patient sodium levels, and selecting the appropriate intravenous fluid treatment are important components that may lower the morbidity and mortality of patients in a critical condition.

Hyponatremia is defined as a plasma sodium concentration of <135 mEq/L. It is a common electrolyte imbalance in newborns. We report the case of a term neonate with cleft lip, cleft palate, imperforate anus, normal male karyotype, and chronic hyponatremia. On the 4th day of life, he showed hyponatremia (plasma sodium concentration 130 mEq/L) with low serum osmolality (275 mOsm/kg), high urine sodium (116.7 mEq/L), and high urine osmolality (412 mOsm/kg). His thyroid and adrenal functions were normal. Despite intravenous and oral sodium supplementation and hydrocortisone treatment, hyponatremia persisted. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed normal results. He was diagnosed as having reset osmostat, a rare subtype of the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone characterized by a subnormal threshold for antidiuretic hormone secretion, with hypotonic hyponatremia.

상기 환자는 진행성 비소세포폐암으로 진단 받고 carboplatin과 gemcitabine의 전신적 항암치료 후에 전신 쇠약 동반한 저나트륨혈증으로 병원에 내원하여 SIADH로 진단받고 carboplatin 약제 중단 후 호전되었다. 이러한 항암제 투여 후에 유발된 SIADH는 여러 가지 원인과의 감별을 요하며, carboplatin에 의해 유발된 SIADH의 보고는 드물기에 증례로 이를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

The final purpose of oral & maxillofacial trauma is functional & esthetic repair. Nowadays, severe trauma involving with the head & neck trauma is increasing. After these trauma occurs, the patients develop similar signs & symptoms with the postoperative healing period, as like thurst, hypertention, excitability, disorientation, convulsion, et al. Because SIADH which is one of important complications after head trauma, shows similar clinical features after operation, we should pay attention to detect it. SIADH shows characteristic laboratory findings, as like hyponatremia, urine hyperosmolality, increased plasma ADH level, continued renal excretion of sodium, so we can easily distinguish it from postoperative conditions. This paper reports two cases, one was the case of the mandibular fracture and cerebral contusion, which included permanent SIADH. The other was the case of the multiple teeth injury and cerebral contusion, which was transient SIADH. We treated them with water restriction, hypertonic saline, and diuretics.
