High Incidence of Hyponatremia in Patients Operated for Nonsellar/Suprasellar Supratentorial Tumors—A Prospective Observational Study
Background The incidence of hyponatremia is high in supratentorial tumors. However, most studies of supratentorial tumors have included patients with sellar/suprasellar tumors. It is common knowledge that sellar tumors have higher incidence and severity of hyponatremia. Incidence of hyponatremia is...

However, most studies of supratentorial tumors have included patients with sellar/suprasellar tumors. It is common knowledge that sellar tumors have higher incidence and severity of hyponatremia. Incidence of hyponatremia is not known if we exclude sellar/suprasellar tumors. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the incidence of hyponatremia in supratentorial tumors after excluding sellar/suprasellar tumors. Methods After institutional ethics committee approval and written informed consent, adult patients with supratentorial tumors (nonsellar/suprasellar) were recruited, and data were collected prospectively. In all patients, serum electrolytes were measured every 2 to 3 days. Hyponatremia was defined as serum sodium of <135 mEq/L. All the patients were followed up till death or discharge from the hospital. Results A total of 61 patients’ data were analyzed. There were 31 male and 30 female patients with an average age of 44 years. There were 23 meningiomas, 36 gliomas, and 2 other tumors. Forty patients (66%) developed hyponatremia during hospital stay. There were 29 mild cases (serum sodium 131–134 mEq/L), 7 were moderate (serum sodium 126–130 mEq/L), and 4 were severe (serum sodium <126 mEq/L). Three hyponatremic meningioma patients died, of which two had mild hyponatremia and one had severe hyponatremia. Duration of hospital stay was longer in hyponatremic patients.
