Embolization of metastatic neuroendocrine tumor resulting in clinical manifestations of syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone.
Overview
abstract
Complications after hepatic artery embolization are usually minor and transient. This report describes a patient with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with hepatic metastases who repeatedly developed clinical findings of syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone with hyponatremia (sodium < 130 mEq/L), low plasma osmolarity (< 275 mOsm/kg), and high urine osmolarity (> 500 mOsm/kg) after every session of hepatic artery embolization.
