Hyponatremia is a common laboratory finding in premature and ill neonates. When the degree of hyponatremia is more severe, the likelihood of a pathologic entity increases. In this case report we describe a premature neonate with severe hyponatremia due to the idiopathic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).
