title: [Metabolic and water-electrolyte changes as postoperative complications in aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery].
abstract: A study was performed on hydroelectrolytic changes in neurosurgical patients operated for clipping anterior communicating artery aneurysm. The patients were observed during a seven day period in ICU, between the preoperative day and the sixth post-operative day. No statistically significant changes were observed, except for hyponatriemia on the day of surgery. The etiology of this phenomenon is not clear: it could be a change of ADH or "cerebral salt wasting syndrome". A wider number of patients and repeated haematological tests are necessary.
