Anti-Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel Antibody Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Hyponatremia in Intensive Care Unit
Hyponatremia causing seizure is a common cause for admission in the critical care unit. Here, we describe a peculiar case of seizure due to hyponatremia, associated with anti-voltage-gated potassium channel antibody syndrome. This case emphasizes that how a proper workup can unveil unusual but poten...

description | Hyponatremia causing seizure is a common cause for admission in the critical care unit. Here, we describe a peculiar case of seizure due to hyponatremia, associated with anti-voltage-gated potassium channel antibody syndrome. This case emphasizes that how a proper workup can unveil unusual but potentially treatable causes of hyponatremia. The hallmark of this syndrome is that neurological symptoms may relapse or progress if the disorder is not recognized in time. This case report emphasizes the point that how a keen observation may decode subtle signs of the grave but potentially treatable pathologies. |
