Abstract
The woman presented to the emergency department with lethargy after a spinning marathon. Severe electrolyte disturbances were measured (Na(+) 109 mmol/l, K(+) 3,2 mmol/l, Cl(-) 86, Ca(++) 0,95 mmol/l). A computed tomography showed signs of brain swelling. During her stay in the intensive care unit the patient had a negative fluid balance of 8,000 ml. She was discharged with habitual weight. We present a brief discussion of the genesis and treatment of EAH.
