abstract="Drowning in sea water is an unusual cause of severe hypernatremia. We report the case of a 3.5-year-old boy who died 11h after drowning in sea water, with a serum sodium level of 178mmoL/L. In this case, hypernatremia was aggravated by diarrhea and hyperglycemia with glycosuria. Usually, correction of acute hypernatremia must be quick and early, aiming at a reduction of serum sodium concentration of up to 1-2mmoL per liter per hour.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>",
