title: The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone following carotid endarterectomy. A case report and review of the literature.
abstract: The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) has not been reported as a complication of carotid endarterectomy. We present a case of SIADH in a patient who underwent carotid endarterectomy four weeks after a completed stroke with good recovery. The presence of this syndrome was associated with the development of a neurological deficit.
