Abstract
A 59-year-old man with confused mental status was admitted to our hospital.
Laboratory reports showed him to have severe hyponatremia, and additional studies
revealed panhypopituitarism. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a sellar cystic
lesion, which consisted of a Rathke cleft cyst. Thus, the mass effect of the Rathke
cleft cyst resulted in panhypopituitarism and finally induced euvolemic hyponatremia.
On the basis of these results, supplementation with thyroid hormone and glucocorticoid
was started, and the patient’s serum sodium level was gradually corrected and maintained
within the normal range. Here, we report this case of euvolemic hyponatremia
caused by a Rathke cleft cyst.
