Small cell carcinoma of the cervix with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion following chemotherapy: A case report and literature review
This case highlights the rare occurrence of severe SIADH in a patient with SCCC, underscoring the complexity of managing electrolyte disturbances in the context of both paraneoplastic syndromes and chemotherapeutic side effect. The severity of our patient's presentation calls attention to the importance of early recognition of SIADH in the differential diagnosis of oncology patients with altered mental status and confusion. Post chemotherapy sodium surveillance could lead to improved patient outcomes, as well as monitoring for signs and symptoms of hyponatremia.
