Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the clinical significance of central hyponatremia in the diagnosis and treatment of intracranial infection.

Methods

Seventy-two postoperative patients with craniocerebral injury complicated with central hyponatremia were collected at Department of Neurosurgery, Dongzhimen Hospital Eastern Affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and divided into an intracranial infection group (40 cases) and a non-intracranial infection group (32 cases). Based on the level of serum sodium, the intracranial infection group was further divided into three subgroups (mild, moderate, and severe). Comparisons of serum sodium were made between the two groups by the t-test, and white blood cell (WBC) count and glucose in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were compared among different subgroups in the intracranial infection group by one-way analysis of variance.

Results

There was a statistical difference in serum sodium between the two groups (t=2.66, P=0.0103). There was also a statistical difference in WBC count and glucose in CSF glucose among different subgroups in the intracranial infection group (F=47.47, P=4.63E-11; F=4.18, P=0.023).

Conclusion

Intracranial infection severity is inversely related to central hyponatremia; the more severe intracranial infection, the lower serum sodium.
