A 20-year-old woman with a functioning ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt consistently reported unbearable vertex headaches and nausea during the last hour of her haemodialysis (HD) sessions. After one particularly severe episode, which was associated with vomiting, restlessness and blurred vision, her team suspected that she was developing dialysis disequilibrium syndrome. She improved fully on cessation of HD, requiring simple analgaesia only, and continued dialysis three times per week. Several more distressing episodes of nausea and headaches compelled us to give intravenous mannitol during HD, resulting in temporary improvement. Subsequently, shorter and more frequent dialysis sessions along with intravenous mannitol resulted in satisfactory clinical response.
