Hypodipsic hypernatremia developed in association with hypopituitarism and hydrocephalus in a 7-month-old cat. Initial clinical signs (generalized weakness, cervical ventroflexion) were related to a hypernatremia-induced polymyopathy. Forced water intake and dietary sodium restriction corrected the hypernatremia and signs of muscle dysfunction. After restoration of eunatremia, secretion of pituitary hormones normalized. It was speculated that hypothalamic dysfunction, possibly related to hydrocephalus, induced both hypodipsia and transient hypopituitarism.
一只7个月大的猫发生了与垂体功能减退和脑积水相关的低渗性高钠血症。最初的临床症状（全身无力、颈部腹侧弯曲）与高钠血症引起的多肌病有关。强制饮水和限制饮食中的钠纠正了高钠血症和肌肉功能障碍的症状。等渗血症恢复后，垂体激素的分泌恢复正常。据推测，下丘脑功能障碍，可能与脑积水有关，导致了低渗和短暂的垂体功能减退。
