Core Tip A 62-year-old woman developed progressive symptomatic hypotonic euvolemic hyponatremia after frontobasal meningioma resection shortly after starting carbamazepine (CBZ) for postoperative seizure prophylaxis. Despite isotonic saline, sodium fell to 119 mmol/L with somnolence; investigations supported a syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion like pattern. Discontinuation of CBZ with substitution to levetiracetam, alongside hypertonic saline, led to clinical recovery and sustained normalization of serum sodium.
