Popis: We report a case series of 14 children with intracranial germ cell tumor and concomitant central diabetes insipidus, who developed hyponatremia secondary to renal salt-wasting syndrome (RSWS) following the administration of carboplatin. Clinicians prescribing platinum-based chemotherapy for this group of patients should be alert to the risk of RSWS. Regular monitoring should be performed as hyponatremia can be asymptomatic until it is severe.
