Abstract
In our series, the most frequent electrolyte disorder after surgery for CNS tumors was diabetes insipidus. Early treatment with desmopressin almost always prevents hypernatremia. Unless there is a surgical lesion of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, spontaneous resolution will take place in 3 days on average. The management of SWS and SIADH requires close monitoring of plasma sodium due to the risk of hyponatremia.
