Hypernatremic dehydration with hemorrhage into the choroid plexus.
A 2 1/2-month-old patient is reported with computed tomographic evidence of bilateral choroid plexus hemorrhage associated with hypernatremic dehydration. Choroid plexus hemorrhage may have caused increased cerebrospinal fluid protein observed in hypernatremic dehydration, as well as intraventricular hemorrhage.
