Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder requiring careful management to prevent severe complications. Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) is a serious neurological disorder that can develop from rapid correction of hyponatremia. Herein, is a description of the case of a 61-year-old man with multiple risk factors, including alcoholism, hypokalemia, malnutrition, and alcoholic liver cirrhosis, who developed ODS despite adherence to the recommended correction rate for hyponatremia. The patient presented to the emergency department with generalized weakness, gait disturbance, and decreased muscle strength. Initial laboratory investigations revealed severe hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and dehydration. The patient was treated with cautious correction of the hyponatremia below 8 mmol/L per day. However, on the seventh hospital day, he developed tremors, rigidity, and decreased consciousness and was diagnosed with osmotic demyelination syndrome. Despite receiving general supportive care, desmopressin, and dextrose 5% in water to reduce the serum sodium levels, the patient did not show significant improvement and was transferred to a nursing home for long-term conservative care on day 35 of hospitalization. This case report highlights the challenges associated with the diagnosis and management of osmotic demyelination syndrome and the importance of identifying patients at high risk of developing this neurological disorder.
