| Abstract: | A ten-year-old girl with middle face hypoplasia, cleft lip and palate developed severe hyponatraemia on the first day following surgery. Final diagnosis was inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and complete hormonal investigation revealed partial deficit in growth hormone secretion. The incidence of hormonal deficiency associated to midline facial malformations is discussed. |
