Abstract
We describe a case of the dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) that was marked by the rapid onset of cerebral edema and the subsequent development of acute respiratory failure. The patient was treated successfully with a combination of mechanical hyperventilation and mannitol. The clinical presentation, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of the entity are discussed.Entities:
