Abstract
Dilutional hyponatraemia with symptoms (TUR syndrome) may occur not only in association with transurethral prostatic resection, but also in other operations in which electrolyte-free irrigating fluid is used. This case report describes a patient who developed the TUR syndrome after blood clots had been removed from the bladder with the aid of a transurethral resectoscope.
