Chronic hyponatremia in a patient with renal salt wasting and without cerebral disease: relationship between RSW, risk of fractures and cognitive impairment [PDF]
Renal salt wasting syndrome (RSW) is defined as a renal loss of sodium leading to hyponatremia and a decrease in extracellular fluid volume (ECV). Differentiation of this disorder from the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH),

Lateral ventricular choroid plexus enlargement in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the choroid plexus volume in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH), including the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles, and explore its potential relationship with clinical characteristics. Background SIH is caused by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. The choroid plexus is predominantly
