Ketorolac appears to decrease polyuria during intracranial surgery.
Two cases are described of patients, undergoing surgery for intracranial pathology, who developed polyuria intraoperatively. The urine output decreased to within normal range shortly after the administration of ketorolac, a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug. The possible mechanisms producing the increased urinary output and the influence of prostaglandins on renal function are discussed.
