We report a case of recurrent mania who developed catatonia and was found to be markedly hyponatraemia. The catatonic symptoms showed rapid resolution following correction of hyponatraemia suggesting a causal link between the two. It is suggested that the estimation of serum electrolyte levels should be an important part of the evaluation of cases of catatonia.
我们报告一例复发性躁狂症患者，该患者出现紧张症并被发现有明显低钠血症。低钠血症纠正后，紧张症症状迅速缓解，提示二者之间存在因果关系。建议血清电解质水平评估应成为紧张症病例评估的重要组成部分。
