Abstract:
Two new observations of ISADH following head injury are described. A review of the medical literature is presented. Reports of ISADH after head injury are rare in comparison to the frequent occurrence of hydroelectrolytic disorders in the same situation. Attention is drawn to misleading clinical pictures, suggestive of neurosurgical conditions. Intracranial hematoma is frequently associated with ISADH and should be looked for in patients who fail to respond to therapy.
