In parallel with the clinical neurological deterioration, laboratory tests on day four showed an increase in serum osmolality (322.2 mOsm/L). For approximately one week thereafter, sodium levels remained elevated, and hypotonic solutions were administered. Subsequently, sodium levels stabilized within the...
However, the coexistence of hoarseness, dysphagia and malignant tumor-like mass lesions is extremely rare in acute pharyngitis.
